Hohenheim Gardens, Botanical garden and park in Stuttgart, Germany.

The gardens span 30 hectares, featuring three distinct areas: the Botanical Garden, Exotic Garden, and Landscape Garden with over 8,000 plant varieties.

Duke Carl Eugen von Württemberg transformed the former Garbenhof estate into these gardens between 1772 and 1793, establishing the Exotic Garden section.

The gardens serve as educational grounds for the University of Hohenheim students while maintaining collections of medicinal plants and scientific specimens.

The Collection Greenhouse contains 1,800 plant species across six climate zones, specializing in tropical flora, carnivorous plants, and a notable begonia collection.

The gardens contain 180 Champion Trees recognized by the German Dendrological Society, with some specimens exceeding 200 years in age.
