Jardin botanique de l'Université de Strasbourg, Educational botanical garden near city center in Strasbourg, France
Description
The Botanical Garden of Strasbourg University is a 3.5-hectare outdoor museum displaying roughly 6,000 plant species from different climates and habitats. The site includes greenhouses for tropical plants and open areas with systematically arranged collections.
History
The site was established in 1619 as one of France's early botanical gardens and relocated to Strasbourg in 1884 when the region came under German administration. This move followed the scientific standards of the era and shaped the garden's current layout.
Culture
The garden carries forward botanical traditions by displaying living collections that researchers study and visitors can observe directly. The labeled plants and organized groupings show how science works in practice.
Practical
The garden is accessible during daylight hours with affordable entry fees and reduced rates for students and groups. It is easily reached on foot since it lies close to the city center, with adequate parking nearby.
