Mirijjawila Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in Hambantota, Sri Lanka.
This 300-acre garden contains numerous species of plants adapted to arid conditions, with three water tanks maintaining soil moisture throughout the grounds.
The Department of National Botanic Gardens established this garden in 2013 on land previously covered with thorny shrubs and abandoned agricultural plots.
The garden maintains a collection of medicinal herbs used in traditional Sri Lankan medicine, supporting research on indigenous plant applications.
Visitors can access the garden through two entrances, one from Colombo-Kataragama road and another from Beragama Road, with different entry fees for locals and foreigners.
The garden houses plant species specific to Sri Lanka's dry zone, situated between Mattala International Airport and Hambantota Harbor.
