A gem of Kassel garden art in the style of the 1950s. The botanical garden is located in the district of Wehlheiden and changes its image with the seasons.

Into the botany and out into the world! From bamboo to mossy fern canyons, from the medicinal herb garden to the desert of prickly cacti and carnivorous plants, the themed gardens in the city's Botanical Garden lead the way. The arboretum, the collection of solitary deciduous and coniferous trees, impresses with some remarkable treasures, and the plant community of native perennials changes its image with the changing seasons. Since 2002, the Environment and Garden Department, with the active support of associations and sponsors, has been reviving this gem of Kassel garden art. Typical garden architectural elements of the post-war period have been lovingly restored. The avenue of seventy trimmed Kaiser lime trees is an access axis, eye-catcher and symbol of the reconstruction of the garden, which was destroyed in the 1980s. In its shade, the popular plant fair takes place twice a year. By the way, the botanical garden is still a learning garden. The school biology center inspires young and old for the secrets of nature.
