Gothenburg Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in Änggården, Gothenburg, Sweden.

The garden spans 430 acres of land and contains 16,000 plant species from 130 countries, with specialized areas for rock gardens and tropical plants.

Carl Skottsberg established this botanical garden in 1923 as a research facility and public recreation space for the residents of Gothenburg Municipality.

The garden maintains three large beehives at its entrance and a demonstration hive in the Herb Garden to educate visitors about bee populations.

Visitors can access the garden through voluntary entrance fees of 30 kronor and explore the grounds using electric wheelchairs available upon reservation.

The garden preserves the Sophora Toromiro tree, which no longer exists in its native Easter Island habitat, making it a vital conservation specimen.
