Botanical Garden St. Gallen, Botanical garden in St. Gallen, Switzerland.

The Botanical Garden St. Gallen maintains 8,000 plant species from various regions across the globe, including tropical houses and alpine gardens.

Founded in 1878 by Professor Bernhard Wartmann in the City Park, the garden relocated multiple times before settling at Stephanshornstrasse in 1945.

The garden conducts educational programs with local schools to teach students about plant diversity, ecological systems, and environmental protection.

Located near the Museum of Nature, this free-access garden opens daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and collects 80,000 liters of rainwater for irrigation.

The garden houses a 150-year-old Chilean myrtle from 1880 and maintains a tropical zone with 100 gold dust day geckos for natural pest control.
