Jardín botánico de la municipalidad de Córdoba, Municipal botanical garden in Córdoba, Argentina.
The Municipal Botanical Garden of Córdoba spreads across 6 hectares and features ten thematic sections including native plants, urban trees, climbing plants, cacti, and subtropical forest species. The grounds combine open plant collections with specialized greenhouses and research facilities.
The garden was created in 1997 on an initial 3 hectares, with a mission of education, research and conservation of local natural resources. Between 1997 and 1999 the main building went up, designed by Mónica Bertolino and Carlos Barrado, together with the Paseo de la Selva Subtropical, the children's education room and an aquarium. A second stage from 2000 to 2003 laid out the first plant collections, and on 23 May 2005 the garden was enlarged to 6 hectares, adding a multipurpose hall.
The garden teaches visitors about plant diversity through labeled sections and displays that show how different species relate to the local region. The space serves both as a place to learn and as a center for protecting plant species that might otherwise disappear.
The garden is open throughout the day on most occasions and requires no entrance fee or advance booking. Visitors can walk through the different sections at their own pace and explore the plant collections freely.
The garden's greenhouse is named El Infiernillo, after the Infiernillo stream that runs along its southern edge and feeds the Suquía River. It is used to propagate native species rather than to house rainforest plants. The herbarium code CBA identifies the garden in the BGCI network.
