Botanical Garden of the University of Graz

The Botanical Garden of the University of Graz spreads across a large area with about 7500 plant species, including many rare and exotic specimens. Four specialized greenhouses display plants from tropical, temperate, and arid climates as well as a succulent collection.

This garden was founded more than two centuries ago and has been a core part of the University of Graz since its beginning. It evolved from a simple teaching collection into a modern research and education facility.

The garden serves students and researchers from the Institute for Plant Sciences as a teaching and research space where classes and field observations happen regularly. Visitors can observe how the place supports practical botanical education.

The garden has level paths that are easy to walk and several benches for resting. It is best visited on sunny days when the vegetation looks most lively, especially during warmer months when the outdoor areas are fully accessible.

The four greenhouses together form a microclimate system that allows displaying plants from completely different parts of the world side by side. This system is a practical solution for experiencing Earth's plant diversity in one location.
