The Botanical Garden Munich‑Nymphenburg is a 21‑hectare haven of biodiversity, cultivating over 16,000 plant species from around the world. Opened in 1914 beside Nymphenburg Palace, it combines scientific research with public enjoyment, offering both outdoor landscapes and 4,500 m² of greenhouses that recreate habitats from humid tropical forests to arid deserts. Visitors can wander through the Arboretum, the colourful Rose Garden, the medicinal and crop plant beds, and the Alpinum, one of Central Europe’s richest mountain plant collections. Seasonal highlights include orchid displays, aquatic plants, and rare blooms, while the garden also supports vital conservation work, particularly for wild bees. A satellite Alpine Garden on the Schachen, high in the Wetterstein mountains, extends its reach to over 1,000 high‑altitude species. Blending education, recreation, and natural beauty, the Botanical Garden is a living museum that inspires curiosity and respect for the plant world year‑round.
