Botanischer Garten der Universität Ulm, Botanical garden and arboretum at University of Ulm, Germany.

The Botanical Garden of the University of Ulm covers about 28 hectares southeast of the university on the Upper Eselsberg. At the upper entrance stand the tropical greenhouses, built in 1997, with lowland and montane rainforest plants such as bananas, Ceylon cinnamon, cocoa, vanilla and tree ferns. The grounds hold an arboretum planted 1992–1994, a farmer's garden from 1998 with beds arranged by historical periods, and a biology section of 41 beds.

The garden was approved in 1981 by Baden-Württemberg's science ministry on a former shooting range southeast of the university. Its terrain was shaped in 1980–1981 using about 150,000 m³ of excavation from the university clinic. The first greenhouses followed in 1986, the arboretum was planted in stages from 1992 to 1994, and two tropical houses were added in 1997.

The garden's name comes from the University of Ulm, which runs it as a central scientific institution. In the Grünes Klassenzimmer, school classes learn about plants, animals and their ecology through hands-on activities. The Neuer Apothekergarten, laid out in 2001 with the Ulm pharmaceutical firm Ratiopharm, groups around 200 medicinal plants by 30 medical applications and displays them on 75 information boards.

The outdoor areas are accessible daily, while the greenhouses open on specific weekdays. You should wear comfortable shoes since the site is spacious and you will explore much of it on foot.

The affiliated herbarium collects tens of thousands of dried plant specimens from Europe, tropical America, and other regions. This scientific collection allows researchers and interested visitors to study the diversity of global plant life.
