Amidst the concrete, skyscrapers, and historical city buildings of Frankfurt sits a hidden tropical oasis, the Palmengarten, or Palm Garden. This botanical garden is a labyrinth of paths and green spaces that introduce patrons to a host of colorful, eye-catching plant ecosystems not found in the Frankfurt climate. The gardens include a subtropical palm house, where giant leaves and ferns create an almost jungle-like atmosphere. Other warm-weather highlights include the tropicarium and the cactus and rhododendron gardens, which feature plants from regions nearer the equator. In contrast, the Palm Garden also has a sub-Antarctic house, which displays fauna from much colder regions on the edges of the planet.
