BERLIN BOTANICAL GARDEN, Germany
Other Gardens, Collections and Nurseries


Berlin Botanical garden is huge: 43 hectares! The greenhouse complex among the biggest I have seen: 6000 m2.  A total of 22.000 species are found here. I visited in 2012.
Below is a few photos, many more can be seen on:
Botanicher Garten und Botanicher Museum; Berlin-Dahlem.


This is the first moss garden I even seen.


The greenhouses them selves, along with their inhabitants are keep in a pristine condition. 20 gardeners take care of the plants inside.


Their Welwitschia mirabilis are thriving.


Nice display of Lithops.


Not a huge cactihouse, but real well layout. American half.


The African part.


Huge male Gerrardanthus macrorhizus.


A bit of Madagascar too.


But there are so many other, interesting houses around the complex.


Bromeliads and carnivorous plants.


One house dedicated to spore plants; Selaginella, ferns and allied.


Massive Bromeliads.


A bit late in the year for the Opuntia bed. Around ten genera which will survive -20C for weeks.


The huge park seems quite wild in most parts.


The Greek hills are impressive - but could do with some attention from their gardeners.
