Parque Botánico de Maspalomas, Botanical garden in Maspalomas, Spain
Parque Botánico de Maspalomas is a botanical garden with more than 500 plant species distributed in a natural layout across the grounds. The collection includes plants from the Macaronesian region as well as many other parts of the world.
The park was created as a conservation space for local and foreign plant species, with particular focus on Canary Islands flora. This founding reflects an interest in preserving regional botanical treasures while sharing international plant knowledge.
The garden organizes plants by type and use, allowing visitors to discover medicinal herbs, ornamental specimens, and fruit trees from around the world. This arrangement helps people understand plant diversity and how different cultures rely on various species.
The garden is laid out in an open area where plants are arranged in a natural environment, making it easy for visitors to walk around freely. It helps to bring sun protection and water, as there is little shade and the sun can be quite strong.
The park observes monarch butterflies through their life cycle while combining this with studies of Canary Islands plants. This combination shows how insects and plants are interconnected and why both matter for the local environment.
