Acerca de

Datos rápidos: Extendido en 2,2 hectáreas, este jardín botánico alberga más de 10.000 especies vegetales de cinco continentes. Solo sus invernaderos del siglo XIX contienen 1.800 plantas tropicales y subtropicales diferentes, incluida una magnífica palmera de 150 años que se eleva hasta el techo de cristal.

Destacados: En el interior del invernadero tropical, una enorme ninfea amazónica extiende sus hojas sobre un estanque con calefacción, con el envés cubierto de espinas parecidas a dagas. En determinadas noches de verano, el jardín permanece abierto hasta tarde para que los visitantes puedan ver cómo estas flores gigantes florecen y se desvanecen en una sola noche, desprendiendo un dulce aroma parecido al de la piña.

Consejos de expertos

  • The tropical greenhouse gets steamy and hot even in winter, wear layers you can easily shed.
  • Check the garden's website for the water lily night-blooming schedule, it only happens a few evenings each summer.
  • The medicinal plant section near the back wall is often overlooked but holds centuries-old healing herbs once used by local apothecaries.
  • Bring a small umbrella or rain jacket, Ghent's weather can shift quickly and the garden offers little covered walkways between greenhouses.
