The Botanical Gardens occupy a special position among the collections, as living "objects" can be seen here. Almost 10,000 plant species from all over the world can be found on ten hectares. The plants are arranged according to geographical, ecological and relationship aspects. Rhododendrons are a focal point with around 75 cultivated forms and over 170 wild species. The systematic section - below the Tropicarium - shows the families of flowering plants according to their relationships. The Arboretum, the systematically organized collection of woody plants, is located above the north ring on five hectares. The greenhouses present the subtropical and tropical plant world on over 3000 square meters. The botanical garden sees itself as a place of education as well as a meeting place and place of recreation for urban society.
