Jardí Botànic de Caixa de Girona

The Jardí Botànic de Caixa de Girona is a botanical garden located near Palafrugell on the Costa Brava coast in northeastern Spain. The site displays Mediterranean plants organized into sections that represent different regional species and ecosystems, spread across the property.

Russian aristocrat Nicolai Woevodsky and his English wife Dorothy Webster created the garden in 1927 on coastal land. Their vision transformed the site into a regional plant collection that grew over time.

The site includes a medieval-style castle that hosts music festivals and art events, especially during summer. This combination of plant collection and cultural venue shapes how visitors experience the location.

The garden has well-maintained paths throughout that work for visitors with different mobility needs. Morning and afternoon visits tend to be more comfortable, as midday sun can be intense on the coastal property.

The property contains over one thousand plant species, including rare endemic varieties found nowhere else in the region. A coastal castle on the grounds offers panoramic views across the water to enhance the visit.
