Jardí Petra Kelly, Urban garden on Montjuïc hill, Barcelona, Spain
Description
Jardí Petra Kelly is an urban garden on Barcelona's Montjuïc hill with multiple terraces filled with growing plants maintained by the city's Parks and Gardens Department. It serves as a nursery that supplies vegetation for other parks throughout Barcelona.
History
The garden opened in 1993 on Earth Day with a commemorative bronze sphere showing a female figure embracing a cherry tree. This inauguration marked a special moment for the ecological movement in the city.
Culture
The space honors German politician and environmental activist Petra Kelly through its design and educational elements about ecological awareness.
Practical
The site sits within an operating municipal plant nursery, so some areas may function as working zones rather than public viewing areas. Visitors should stick to marked paths and respect ongoing horticultural activities.

A honey-myrtle tree over 500 years old grows beside a stone monument dedicated to artist Joseph Beuys, giving the garden a special artistic dimension. This combination shows the connection between nature and art history at this distinctive location.
