Botanischer Garten Grugapark, Municipal botanical garden in Essen, Germany.
The garden spans multiple sections including an Alpinum with mountain plants, an Asian garden, and Germany's most extensive climbing plants collection.
Established in 1927 as a teaching and experimental garden, it underwent reconstruction after World War II damage and redesign for the 1965 Bundesgartenschau.
The Westphalian cottage garden preserves regional traditions through historically accurate flower beds, vegetable plots, and architectural elements from 1925.
Three specialized greenhouses built in 1985 maintain collections of tropical rainforest species, desert plants, and flora from Australian ecosystems.
The Garden of Senses incorporates varied surface materials and elevated planting beds, making nature accessible to visitors with different abilities.
