Botanical gardens are dedicated to the cultivation and preservation of a wide range of plant species. Many gardens serve as laboratories for scientific research of plant life. Many others showcase rare and unusual plants that are cultivated outside of their native habitats, under controlled climate conditions that regulate the temperature and humidity required for their livelihood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Botanical gardens are popular sites for visitors that allow them to experience the earth’s biodiversity from different ecosystems, ranging from the dense tropical rainforests, to the aquatic plants of the Amazon and Asia. The gardens also feature noteworthy architectural designs, such as Victorian glasshouses and Japanese pagodas; sculptures; ornamental fountains, offering a sensory explosion to visitors of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Geotourist we host the stories of botanical gardens and conservatories from different parts of the world. History, nature, architecture, art and culture all come together for an immersive experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
