Welcome to the Botanical Garden of TU Dresden
Located next to Dresden’s largest public park ‘Großer Garten’ and the Volkswagen Manufactory, the Botanical Garden provides pleasure and inspiration to plant lovers all year round. About 10,000 plant species from different regions of the world are cultivated here within an area of 3.25 acres.
The collection is predominantly arranged geographically and is displayed in landscaped grounds. This applies to the three greenhouses with plants from tropical and subtropical regions and to large parts of the open area.
In front of the tropical conservatory, visitors encounter witnesses of a bygone time: fossil tree stumps and a collection of living plants whose closest relatives were involved in the formation of brown coal during the Tertiary Period in Central Europe.
The morphological department presents herbal adaptations to different environmental factors. Adjacent to it visitors find a collection of medicinal and aromatic plants.
Species with characteristic similarities can be grouped into plant families. The taxonomic section introduces such botanically related groups.
Also visit our Regional Gardens at Zuschendorf and at the Bosel near Meissen!
