Botanical Park, Timișoara, Botanical garden in Timișoara, Romania.
The Botanical Park of Timișoara is a green space with over 200 plant species organized into distinct sections. Visitors find collections from Romania, the Mediterranean, America, and Asia, plus a Japanese garden section with a traditional teahouse.
The land was initially used for military exercises before the landscaper Árpád Mühle transformed it into a park in the early 1900s. This conversion marked the beginning of a botanical and recreational space for the city.
The park has become a place where people encounter plants from across the world and experience different horticultural traditions together. The Japanese garden section with its teahouse allows visitors to explore a different garden philosophy without leaving the city.
The park sits northeast of the historic center and offers free entry to all visitors. It works well for leisurely walks and learning, with different paths to explore the various plant sections.
The park regularly receives rare plant species through international seed exchanges with botanical institutions around the world. These global connections mean visitors can encounter exotic and uncommon plants they would not find elsewhere locally.
