La Laguna Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in Antiguo Cuscatlán, El Salvador
Located in a volcanic crater, the 46-hectare garden contains over 3,500 plant species distributed across 32 specialized zones with detailed botanical information.
German immigrants established the garden's foundation in the early 20th century, bringing diverse trees and plants from worldwide to create their private collection.
The Deininger family transformed their private garden into a public educational institution that now receives 24,000 students annually for environmental education.
The garden maintains itself through entrance fees, memberships, gardening courses, and plant sales, without receiving government support or international donations.
The botanical collection includes native forest areas under strict preservation, featuring species from Musaceae, Gramineae, Euphorbiaceae, and Bromeliaceae families.
