Botanical Garden of Medellín, Botanical garden in Medellín, Colombia
The Botanical Garden of Medellín spans 14 hectares with collections of native Colombian plants, orchids, palms, and desert species arranged in themed sections.
The garden, established in 1972 and named after naturalist Joaquín Antonio Uribe, evolved from a previous nursery that supplied trees for city parks.
The garden hosts educational programs about Colombian ecosystems and plant conservation, welcoming students and researchers to study native flora specimens.
The garden provides guided tours in multiple languages, wheelchair accessibility throughout the grounds, and maintains a restaurant serving local Colombian dishes.
The Orchideorama structure, resembling wooden hexagonal flowers, creates a microclimate for housing the garden's extensive collection of epiphytes and orchids.
