Botanischer Garten Frankfurt am Main, Botanical Garden near Grüneburgpark, Germany
The Botanical Garden Frankfurt am Main spreads across about 7 hectares between Palm Garden and Grüneburg Park with open-air beds and greenhouses. More than 5,000 plant species from different climates grow here in distinct sections organized by geography and purpose.
Johann Christian Senckenberg founded a botanical garden in 1763 to supply medicinal plants for medical purposes. The location maintained its role as a collection point for healing plants for more than two centuries.
The garden displays how people have used and valued plants over time through its different sections and collections. Visitors encounter medicinal herbs, rare species, and traditional varieties that still hold meaning in daily life.
The garden is easy to walk through during the warmer months with paths suited to different mobility levels. Regular guided tours help visitors understand the plant collections and layout better.
A section was redesigned in 2007 specifically as a medicinal plants garden, preserving the original purpose of the 1763 foundation. This renewal connects the historical mission with contemporary garden design.
