The Botanical garden

" The University Botanical Garden is located in the heart of Strasbourg and includes 6000 species of plants! A tropical greenhouse on two levels houses a collection of remarkable plants, including various palm trees. "

Located at the heart of the "Imperial" quarter of Strasbourg, the botanical Garden is home to nearly 6000 plant species. It is a genuine living museum with an arboretum, ecological beds, and greenhouses. Here, you can see some remarkable trees such as the pecan tree, the giant Sequoia and 5 bald cypress trees including Taxodium ascendens, which is very rare in Europe. But the section which seems out of this world is no doubt the two-storey tropical greenhouse! This university garden offers students and researchers a vast range of plants destined for research and observation. It is also open to the public and is really worth a visit especially when events are proposed. And you can just sit and relax in the shade of the magnificent trees on a pontoon by the side of the pond. The botanical Garden is a haven of greenery right in the centre of town!
