Jardines Juan Acosta Rodríguez

Jardines Juan Acosta Rodríguez is a garden in La Orotava that displays plant species native to Tenerife and the Canary Islands. Well-maintained pathways connect different sections where various ecosystems are represented.

The garden is part of a gardening tradition that reaches back to the 18th century when plant acclimatization projects began. Those early beginnings continue to shape how the city values green spaces today.

The space is named after a local agricultural figure and serves as a place where visitors connect with the plant diversity of the region. People come here to learn about the flora and understand how these species matter to farming traditions in the area.

Informational panels throughout the garden explain plant details, and numerous benches are placed for resting. The visit works best in comfortable shoes since you will want to explore the different pathways.

The garden contains plant species that naturally grow in Teide National Park, but can be observed here in a managed setting. This lets visitors understand mountain ecosystems without undertaking the strenuous hike to the park itself.
