The Conservatory and Botanical Garden of the city of Geneva is a significant institution and museum in the city. Founded in 1817, it has a rich history and has been a part of Geneva's cultural landscape for over two centuries. The garden was initially located in a former area of Bastions Park but was transferred to the Console site in 1904. The garden's current location is adjacent to Lake Geneva and the park of the United Nations Office at Geneva.
Diverse Collection and Historical Herbarium
The botanical garden is home to a living collection of 10,000 species from 249 different families from around the world. This diverse collection provides a unique opportunity for visitors to explore and learn about a wide range of plant species. In addition to the living collection, the garden also houses a historical herbarium of nearly 6 million botanical specimens, making it a significant resource for botanical research.
Cultural Asset of National Importance
The entire garden, including its greenhouses, libraries, collections, and the two mansions 'Le Chene' and 'La Console', is registered as a cultural asset of national importance. This recognition underscores the garden's significant role in the cultural and historical landscape of Switzerland. Visitors to the garden can explore these various elements and gain a deeper understanding of the country's botanical and cultural heritage.
