Botanischer Garten Bielefeld

Botanischer Garten Bielefeld is a garden in Bielefeld featuring different plant areas such as alpine gardens, ponds with water lilies, and fern-covered stairs. Paths wind through various garden sections, passing beehives and rare tree species that are labeled throughout the grounds.

This garden was established in 1912 and features at its center a half-timbered house from 1823 with an adjoining courtyard garden. The historic building represents traditional Westphalian architecture and remains a defining element of the grounds.

The garden reflects local interest in plant cultivation and regularly serves as a venue for seasonal celebrations and workshops. Visitors can discover traditional crafts like wreath-making during winter months here.

Visitors can navigate the grounds using marked paths and explore different areas at their own pace. Benches and rest areas are scattered throughout the garden, making it easy to pause between walks.

The garden houses a Wollemia pine, a rare tree species that was thought to be extinct until it was rediscovered in Australia. Alongside it grows a giant sequoia over a hundred years old, showing how long trees can thrive in this place.
