More than 300 plant species dedicated to the conservation and public awareness of plant diversity.
A botanical garden is a type of garden devoted to the conservation and public awareness of plant species diversity. It is characterised by including scientific collections of living plants which, besides their possible aesthetic or urban-planning interest, are also subject to observation and study by the specialist gardeners and scientists who cultivate them.
One of the main aims of the botanical garden is the collection and conservation of plants, whether local or exotic, and the protection of species at risk of extinction, thereby helping with the propagation of new species.
The botanical garden also has an educational role. Labelled plant collections are displayed to aid study and understanding, ranging from presentations of plants that thrive in different environments to practical advice for home gardeners.
