Wuhan Botanical Garden, located in Hubei, China, covers over 150 acres and contains over 4,000 species of flora. It was formed in 1956 as a place for scientists to study plants native to China.
There are several gardens on the property. These include an Aquatic Plant Garden, Rare Endangered Plant Garden, Chinese Gooseberry Garden, Ornamental Garden, Tree Garden, Pine and Cypress Garden, and Bamboo Garden.
The garden is open daily from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Admission is 30 yuan.
Do they study the plants there?
ReplyDeleteYes, they do.
DeleteHi Sherry .. I've never been to Asia - one day. China has so many incredible plants and still so much to find out about .. of course our gardens are full of ex Chinese/Asian plants brought back by the hunter gatherers ... fascinating range of gardens here at Wuhan ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteWuhan Garden is certainly a fascinating place.
DeleteHi Sherry,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have highlighted a garden in China. I've never really thought about that and seeing indigenous Chinese plants is most interesting.
Have a nice weekend, Sherry.
