Palm House Lodzka, Greenhouse in Stary Widzew, Poland
Palm House Lodzka is a greenhouse in Stary Widzew that houses multiple climate-controlled sections with tropical and subtropical plants from around the world. Each section is designed to recreate the natural conditions required for specific plant groups to thrive.
The greenhouse became part of Łódź's botanical infrastructure in 1956, contributing to the city's expanding collection of scientific facilities. Its establishment reflected the post-war interest in advancing scientific education and research capabilities.
The Palm House serves as a place where visitors encounter tropical plants in their climate-recreated environments and gain a direct sense of how different regions support distinct plant life. Schools and individuals come here to discover botanical diversity and understand the importance of preserving these natural systems.
The greenhouse maintains different temperature zones for various plant species and offers guided tours in multiple languages throughout the week. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for varying levels of warmth and humidity across different sections.
The facility uses specialized irrigation and climate systems to maintain exact conditions for rare plant species from three different continents. This technical precision allows the collection to display plants that would otherwise be impossible to see anywhere else in the region.
