Bonn Botanical Garden
Bonn Botanical Garden, University botanical garden in Poppelsdorf, Germany
Bonn Botanical Garden is a university garden in Poppelsdorf spanning 13 hectares and containing roughly 11,000 plant species. Multiple glasshouses here focus on specific plant groups like ferns, palms, succulents, orchids, and Mediterranean varieties.
The garden was established in 1818 on grounds that had previously surrounded a medieval castle in a Renaissance-style layout. It was significantly rebuilt after World War II.
The garden functions as a teaching space where students and visitors learn about plant diversity and conservation needs. This focus on education shapes how the space is used and experienced by people who walk through it.
The garden is accessible throughout most days with flat pathways for exploring different sections. Plan enough time to visit all the glasshouses and outdoor areas comfortably.
The Victoria House holds giant water lilies including Victoria cruziana, which display white flowers during the day and shift to deep pink petals at night. This botanical feature draws visitors who want to witness the flower color transformation.
