What happens when a botanical garden becomes part of the research itself?

At Botanischer Garten Oldenburg, around 4,500 plant species support teaching, university research and public engagement.

The garden’s work ranges from research on more than 100 varieties of kale to new climate research facilities now taking shape, all within a collection that has been evolving since 1882.

Our October Garden of the Month explores how Oldenburg brings living collections, science and education together.
