GlasshousesIn the tropical glasshouses clinging epiphytes and climbing lianas thrive in the overhanging trees thanks to nearly constant temperatures (22–25 °C) and high humidity.
The many attractions in the tropical glasshouses include stunning bromeliads, tree ferns and orchids amongst many other useful tropical plants, such as coffee, cocoa, cotton, papaya, mango, sugarcane and pepper.
The sub-tropical flora is also well presented in the Mediterranean house.
A large part is dedicated to succulents from Africa and the Americas. The climate also supports many Mediterranean evergreen trees and unique shrubs from all over the world.
Cacti and SucculentsThree of the glasshouses have over 1400 succulent plant species from South Africa, the Canary Islands and South America. Many cacti of the Americas from Canada to Patagonia are also here to view.Medicinal, Toxic and Herbal plants
This garden contains ca. 300 species of herbal plants commonly used in the kitchen as well as those that can be healing or toxic, often both, depending upon dose. These plants form the basis of traditional herbal remedies. In fact plants are used to provide precursor molecules for some modern pharmaceutical medicines.
AlpinumOur long tradition in culturing mountain plants is reflected in the geographically and geologically structured alpinum. We have a collection of ca. 1000 species from the Alps and Pyrenees, and mountains of the Balkans, Asia and North America.
Park / ArboretumThis part of the garden invites you to relax and enjoy the seasonal variations of the trees on display. The collection of trees stretches back to the beginnings of the botanical garden in 1913.
Alpine house and sandbedsA particular attraction of the gardens is the collection of rare alpine plants from various mountain ranges around the world. Visitors can see these botanical treasures within a recreated alpine landscape, which requires specialised knowledge and care.
Systematics GardenThe great diversity of plants is described and classified by „Systematics“, as part of the botanical discipline. This display garden shows the differences between the representatives of many plant families.
Scent and Touch GardenDive into the realm of the senses! Use your hands to learn the various textures of leaves and bark. The nose is attracted to unique fragrances of leaves and flowers.
