This living museum is home to more than one million plants arranged in distinct collections.
The garden’s seasonal exhibitions and special events are famous all over the country – the Holiday Train Show, the Orchid Show, or the spring festival on Daffodil Hill. The garden is known for one of the world's largest plant conservation and research programs, employing almost 600 staff members.
