Bonn Botanical Garden, University botanical garden in Poppelsdorf, Germany

The Bonn Botanical Garden maintains 11,000 plant species across 13 hectares, featuring specialized glasshouses for ferns, palms, succulents, orchids, and Mediterranean plants.

Founded in 1818 as part of the University of Bonn, the garden originated from Renaissance grounds surrounding a medieval castle and underwent major reconstruction after World War II.

The garden serves as an educational center through its Green School program, training young horticulturists while promoting awareness about plant conservation among visitors.

Access to the garden is free during weekdays, with a three-euro entrance fee on Sundays, while remaining closed every Saturday throughout the year.

The Victoria House contains giant water lilies, including Victoria cruziana, which displays white flowers during daytime and transforms to dark pink petals at night.
