Henarathgoda Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in Gampaha, Sri Lanka.
The garden extends across 43 acres of land and contains more than 2000 plant species from different tropical regions of the world.
British colonial authorities established this garden in 1876 to experiment with rubber plants and advance the economic development of their territory.
The garden maintains educational programs about floriculture and serves as a center for botanical research and plant conservation in Sri Lanka.
Located 450 meters from Gampaha railway station, the garden opens daily from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM with separate entrance fees for local and international visitors.
This garden received the first Brazilian rubber tree seedlings in Asia, which led to the spread of rubber cultivation throughout South and Southeast Asia.
