La Plata Botanical garden, Botanical garden in La Plata, Argentina.
The La Plata Botanical Garden contains 6,000 plant species across seven hectares, including native Argentine trees and specialized geographical collections.
Carlos Luigi Spegazzini established the botanical garden in 1898, creating a space that would become a center for plant research and conservation.
The garden incorporates Roman, French, and Oriental garden designs, along with multiple sculptures and an English-style house for art exhibitions.
Visitors can access the garden Tuesday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:45 PM, with free guided tours available in Spanish on weekends.
Five greenhouses stand within the garden, including an art nouveau structure that received recognition at the 1900 Paris Universal Exposition.
