What to see?
At Botania you can find over 2000 plant species. We have a greenhouse and an outdoor garden. A lot of tropical plants and trees flourish in the greenhouse. Read more about the butterflies at “gardens”. If you look very closely, with a little bit of luck, you may find stick insects! A lot are walking around amidst the plants and on tree trunks.
The gardens outside are open for a visit throughout the year. In the summer you’ll see a lot of plants outside, in the winter the snow covers the plants and the garden is transformed into a mysterious Wintergarden.
