Wrocław University Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in Ostrów Tumski, Poland
The garden extends across 7.5 hectares, containing 11,500 registered plant species including mountain, tropical, subtropical, and water varieties within its grounds.
Founded in 1811 for medical students at the University of Wrocław, the garden started with 427 seeds and expanded to two thousand plants by 1816.
The garden functions as an institute of the Faculty of Biological Sciences, maintaining a Natural Museum and organizing seasonal festivals throughout the year.
Visitors can enter through two gates on Sienkiewicza Street or Kanonia Street, with the greenhouse remaining open from 10:00 AM until 6:00 PM daily.
The garden's large lily pond emerged from a filled-in branch of the Odra River that was altered during the Napoleonic Wars.
