Botanical Garden in Bečov nad Teplou, Botanical garden in Bečov nad Teplou, Czech Republic.

The Botanical Garden in Bečov nad Teplou spreads across roughly 19 hectares and displays hundreds of plant species in carefully arranged areas. Multiple viewpoints are scattered throughout the grounds, and each plant carries a number to help visitors identify what they are seeing.

The garden was created in 1918 by the Bečov gardener Johann Koditek for the estate's last owners, Jindřich of Beaufort-Spontin and his wife Marie, on a slope above the Teplá river. After 1945 the state took over the property and the garden was left untended for sixty years. In 2005 the local ČSOP Berkut group bought part of the grounds and began restoring it.

The garden's original name was "Beaufortské alpinum a zahrada u Korunního rybníka", after the Beaufort-Spontin family who owned the estate. From 2005 volunteers of the ČSOP Berkut association cleared self-seeded trees and restored the medieval water channel; an international student workcamp is held here each year.

The garden lies on a slope above the Teplá river, reached from the former Ertl mill site at the entrance, where greenhouses once stood. Paths were built 0.5 to 1.2 m wide, so the grounds are walked on foot through the alpinum terraces. Most upkeep is done by volunteers, and an international student workcamp is held here each year.

The Amur cork tree known as "Mr. Koditek's Cork Tree" was named Czech Republic Hero Tree for 2006 after its trunk split in two and it kept growing. It is one of the valuable trees that survived six decades of neglect after 1945.
