Düsseldorf Botanical Garden

Düsseldorf Botanical Garden is a green space at Heinrich Heine University that displays thousands of plant species from different climate zones. The grounds are divided into geographic sections that can be explored on foot, showing how plants grow in their native regions.

The garden was established in 1974 as part of the University and has since grown into an important research facility. Its foundation as a scientific institution continues to shape how it operates and what it offers visitors today.

The garden functions as a place where plant diversity and conservation become directly visible to visitors. You can observe how different vegetation zones naturally appear and understand why their protection matters.

Admission is free and the garden is open to visitors from March through October, with maps available at the entrance. Plan enough time to explore the different sections at your own pace.

A distinctive 18-meter tall dome greenhouse houses over 400 plant species from Mediterranean regions and the Canary Islands. The controlled climate inside allows tropical and subtropical plants to be studied and preserved.
