A World of Plants at Gruson-Gewächshäuser

The Gruson-Gewächshäuser, established in 1896, is a botanical garden built in greenhouses and offers a diverse collection of tropical and succulent plants.

Founded by industrialist Hermann Gruson, the garden originally opened to showcase his extensive succulent collection. The venue features unique architectural elements and a variety of exhibition spaces, including a palm house, cactus house, and tropical houses.
