Botanischer Garten München-Nymphenburg, Botanical garden and arboretum in Nymphenburg, Germany.

The Botanischer Garten München-Nymphenburg covers 21.20 hectares next to Nymphenburg Palace Park, with about 16,000 plant species. Its 4,500 square metres of greenhouses, built 1910–1912 by Ludwig Ullmann in iron, wood and glass, hold tropical, cool-temperate mountain and desert plants. Outdoors are a rose garden, arboretum, rhododendron grove, alpine garden around the Großer Teich, and a systematic garden arranged by plant families.

The facility was founded at the beginning of the 20th century after Munich's first botanical garden had to relocate to make space for new development. Moving to the Nymphenburg location allowed for a much larger collection to be built and maintained.

The garden's name recalls Nymphenburg Palace, whose park it adjoins to the north. Since 1966 it has been directed jointly with the Botanical State Collection and the LMU's Institute of Systematic Botany. From December to March, over 400 butterfly species fly free in greenhouse 4, which simulates a tropical rainforest.

Enter from the north side by tram or from Nymphenburg Palace Park via a direct path to the south. Admission is charged, but in winter only for entering the greenhouses. The tropical greenhouse no. 4 hosts free-flying butterflies from December to March.

The garden team operates a research station in the mountains where rare alpine flora is cultivated under natural conditions. This outpost allows specialists to study and preserve plants that would not survive in Munich's lowland environment.
