The Berlin Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum covers an area of roughly 106 acres and contains approximately 22,000 plant varieties. Built under the guidance of the architect Adolf Engler between 1897 and 1910, the original purpose of the gardens was to preserve and present exotic plants returning to Germany from their worldly colonies. Featuring a variety of special exhibits, such as the Cactus Pavilion and the Pavilion Victoria, the botanical garden’s showcase exhibit, however, is their Great Pavilion. This pavilion is kept at a constant 86°F with a high humidity and hosts many tropical plants including a giant bamboo.
