Curepipe Botanic Gardens, Botanical garden in Curepipe, Mauritius.

The Curepipe Botanical Garden spans 27 acres of land, featuring a river, lake, Victorian gazebo, and numerous tropical plant species collections.

Established in 1870, this garden was created to cultivate plant varieties that could not grow in the warmer coastal regions of Mauritius.

The garden received its official name, Sir Seewoosagar Botanical Garden, in honor of the first post-independence prime minister of Mauritius.

The garden contains two entrances: the main one at Les Casernes on Botanical Garden Street and a secondary entrance at Camp Caval.

The garden houses the last remaining Hyophorbe amaricaulis palm tree in existence, protected by special security measures after failed cross-fertilization attempts.
