Jardim Botânico

Jardim Botânico, Botanical garden in São Lourenço dos Órgãos, Cape Verde.

Jardim Botânico Nacional Grandvaux Barbosa is a 20,000 m² botanical garden at 400 m above sea level in São Jorge, in the middle of Santiago island. It belongs to the School of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (the former INIDA) of the University of Cape Verde and focuses on endemic and native Cape Verdean plants such as Phoenix atlantica, Euphorbia tuckeyana and Campanula jacobaea.

The garden was created as a research facility for a university focused on the islands' agriculture and environment. It has developed into a key center for preserving and studying the archipelago's native vegetation.

The garden is named after Luís Augusto Grandvaux Barbosa (1914–1983), the Franco-Portuguese botanist who studied Cape Verde's flora. It belongs to the School of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences of the University of Cape Verde, successor to INIDA, and its beds group the endemic and native species of the archipelago for study and teaching.

The garden is open from Monday to Friday between 9 AM and 5 PM, with extended hours until 6 PM on weekends and holidays. Visitors should note that hours may vary seasonally and checking ahead is wise before planning a visit.

This is the only botanical garden in Cape Verde and serves as a research hub for rare and endangered plant species. The location is a critical anchor for ecological studies and conservation efforts across the region.
