Botanischer Garten Erlangen, Botanical garden in the heart of Erlangen, Germany
The Botanical Garden Erlangen is a facility in the city with greenhouses, outdoor planting areas, and a large collection of different plant species. The gardens are organized by themes, allowing visitors to discover plants from different climates and habitats.
The garden's history traces back to a medical plant collection founded in the early 1600s. The collection was later relocated and developed into a research center for botanical science.
The garden displays cultivated and useful plants from around the world, showing how people have grown and used plants for generations. Walking through these sections, visitors see how different crops and traditional plants thrive in their specific settings.
The garden is open several days each week for visitors and provides easy access to its different sections. Those visiting the greenhouses should allow time for their eyes to adjust, as the climate-controlled spaces differ greatly from outside conditions.
The grounds contain an artificial grotto designed to resemble a cave system, offering an unexpected geological contrast to the plant collections. This stone formation was restored in recent years and is a rare feature in botanical gardens.
