Demonstrating, promoting and strengthening relationships between plants and people is a central task of a botanic garden in the 21st century. The vision of our Botanic Garden is to be a leading teaching and learning site for plant diversity in Switzerland and to make a socially relevant contribution to the topics of plants-environment-human-health.
At the CJBG, we cultivate plant diversity. A true museum, the Botanical Garden houses magnificent collections of living plants grown organically since 2015. It is the ideal place to relax, to walk and to discover our plant heritage.

The Botanical Garden of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, founded in 1783, is currently the oldest in Poland. For over two hundred years, it has played a major role in the development of science, education and culture as a place of research, artistic inspiration and a “living museum” of the world’s flora, visited by thousands of people every year.
A garden is so much more than a collection of plants, trees, lawns and paths. All sorts of things happen in, on and under these parts. The birds, insects and butterflies, small mammals above the ground, and below the surface a rich soil life, larger and smaller. We always try to find a balance between the interests of the collection and nature, to do justice to all these ‘inhabitants’ of our garden.
Welcome to one of the most popular sights in Uppsala, with a magnificent baroque garden, a 200 years old orangery and the only rainforest in Uppsala!
During the spring, lawns and fields are filled with flowering bulbs and sedges. Magnolias, cherries and tulips are blooming. The flowering then continues throughout the summer. Towards late summer, the kitchen plant country is at its most beautiful, and in autumn both native and exotic trees and shrubs offer a splendor of colour.
The Hortus botanicus Leiden is the oldest botanical garden in the Netherlands. Built in 1590 and expanded in the following centuries, the Hortus is the green heart of Leiden. Here Carolus Clusius grew the first large collections of tulips in Europe, and Philipp Franz von Siebold introduced about 700 hitherto unknown plants from Japan and China. Visitors can go here for a relaxing walk; researchers from all over the world come here to conduct research into the renowned collection of the Hortus.
The Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam is one of the oldest botanic gardens in the world. Today, there are more than 4,000 plant species growing in the garden and greenhouses. The Hortus is located in the Plantage district in the hectic center of Amsterdam. Behind the 300-year-old gates, however, the bustle of the city seems to disappear.
The outdoor garden, covering approximately four hectares, attracts the visitor to experience the world of plants. In summertime, perhaps the most attractive part of the grounds is the central garden, an open area with ponds and flowers, bordered by the glasshouses and rose bushes. A historic stone building envisioned as the king’s castle now houses a herbarium in the middle of the garden.
The Garden holds the largest collections of living plants in Denmark. The Herbarium houses the largest collection of preserved plants in Denmark. In addition it has a spirit collection, a wood collection, an economic botany collection and a seed bank.
Step inside and explore the magnificent 47 acre gardens, voted 3rd best garden in the World and only 35 minutes from Dublin. Marvel at the sublime blend of formal gardens, sweeping terraces, statues and ornamental lakes, secret hollows and rambling walks.
The Dublin Garden Trail (DGT) consists of Ireland’s most distinguished private gardens in the greater Dublin area. Some of them are world famous, and others are secret gems whose discovery has been the highlight of many a garden tour.
Gardens in the Dublin Garden Trail range in size from small to very large, with locations from coastal hillside to urban settings. Different styles include 18th century houses with ornamental gardens, modern gardens in ancient landscapes, exciting contemporary country gardens, and floristry inspired gardens, with many of the owners making great efforts to improve the sustainability of their gardens.
Think roses. Are you thinking of roses? Good. Now think of even more roses.
Huge beds of tiered roses fill the sides of the Rose Garden: tall bushes at the back and smaller standards and bushes near the front. And each a different variety.
The flowers form a kaleidoscope of colour in the late spring and summer. And each rosebush carries a personal dedication to a lover, family member or similar.
You never know exactly what to expect in Hellbrunn. But one thing is certain: it never gets boring! Water machines, grottos and insidious spray fountains have been making faces wet and, above all, smiling for over 400 years. Explore Hellbrunn and embark on an entertaining journey through time to the era of Prince Archbishop Markus Sittikus. He built Hellbrunn as a place for entertainment and pleasure. And it has not changed until today.
The Augarten is a 52.2 ha public garden in the 2 nd district of the city and which houses the oldest Baroque botanical garden in Vienna. This French-style garden also offers large beds of magnificent flowers, large shaded paths of chestnut trees, elms, lime trees, ash trees and maples. However, as with almost all of the city’s public parks, access to the park is impossible at night, as the five park gates are closed. (from dusk to early morning – the times, which vary according to the season, are indicated on a metal panel in front of each of the doors.)
The park at Schönbrunn Palace was opened to the public around 1779 and since then has provided a popular recreational amenity for the Viennese population as well as being a focus of great cultural and historical interest for international visitors. Extending for 1.2 km from east to west and approximately one kilometre from north to south, it was placed together with the palace on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1996.
Lush blooms all year round, a park with trees over 150 years old, the baroque splendor of the castle complex and church, plus the Mediterranean character – that is Mainau, the flower island in Lake Constance. Today Bettina Countess Bernadotte and Björn Count Bernadotte are at the helm of the company. The fourth Bernadotte generation following Count Lennart strives to continue the well-founded philosophy that has been developed since 1932 and to maintain an oasis of natural beauty, harmony and relaxation for visitors from all over the world, indeed to create it again and again. Forgetting the stress of everyday life and the over-engineered age for a few hours and finding relaxation in the “deceleration” should be the benefit for the Mainau guests when they visit the flower island in Lake Constance, which is favored by the climate and is unique in the world.
The University of Würzburg has had a botanical garden since 1696 . It emerged from the medicinal plant garden (Hortus medicus) of the Juliusspital in today’s city center and is now, after its third relocation, on the southern outskirts of the city. In 1960 work began on the new system on the Mittlerer Dallenbergweg. The Botanical Garden is a central institution of the University of Würzburg. It serves various sub-disciplines of botany and other university institutions as an important aid in research and teaching. It is open to the public.
The park of Schwetzingen Castle is a unique cultural monument in Europe: more than 100 sculptures adorn the park, which is both magnificent and surprising. Picturesque works of art lead visitors into distant and foreign worlds. The Temple of Apollo features the Greek god of light and the arts playing the lyre in a circular temple. Also worth seeing: the thermal baths, a small building for relaxation with a garden, designed on the plan of an Italian villa. The park’s Turkish garden houses the Nicholas de Pigage mosque, the largest building of its type in a German park. This late-baroque mosque, with many oriental elements, however, played a purely decorative and not religious role.
Visitors can wander through the changing styles of exquisite garden art. The aesthetics and philosophy of the former residents of these palace complexes can be discovered in the perfectly formed garden areas, architecture, water features or in the more than 1,000 sculptures. The approximately 300-hectare Sanssouci Park stretches more than two kilometers from east to west. You should allow time for a detailed tour. Almost 60 gardeners lovingly tend beds, hedges, trees and extensive meadows. The magnificent parterre at the foot of Sanssouci Palace is decorated twice a year with over 230,000 plants based on historical models.
