德班植物园位于南非夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省的德班市,是该市最古老的公共机构,同时也是非洲现存最古老的植物园之一。占地15公顷的这座植物园,拥有独特的亚热带气候。自1849年12月建立以来,德班植物园就致力于参与全球植物园网络的建设,旨在引进经济价值高的植物种类,并为科学研究提供新的植物品种。作为研究和教育的重要场所,植物园见证了从经济作物如甘蔗、茶、咖啡至菠萝等的引进和推广,以及由多位馆长共同努力下保护和研究植物的历史轨迹。尤其是约翰·梅德利·伍德的管理时期(1882-1913年),植物园迎来了其全盛时期。伍德是一位自学成才的植物学家,他发现了许多新的植物种类,并于1895年在Ongoye森林发现了后来以他命名的伍德蓖麻(Encephalartos woodii),这种珍稀的蓖麻如今成为了德班植物园的标志。此外,植物园还以兰花收藏而著称,自1931年开始收集,至今已拥有超过9000株兰花植物,包括Cattleya、Phalaenopsis和Vanda等品种。除了令人赞叹的植物收藏,植物园还举办各种社会活动和活动,如音乐会、维多利亚时代茶会和每年春季的本土植物展销会,展现了它作为城市文化和休闲中心的角色。

    My recent visit to the Botanic Gardens was a delightful escape into nature's serenity. The gardens are a perfect haven for relaxation, surrounded by beautiful trees and the sweet sounds of birds. Lush grass areas and romantic pathways invite you to stroll and unwind. Watching ducks swim gracefully in the lake adds to the tranquility of this well-maintained garden. However, if you plan to bring kids, keep in mind that active play is restricted. The gardens do not permit sports like ball games, Frisbee, or bike riding, which might lead to boredom for energetic children. Walking dogs is allowed, making it a great spot for pet owners. One highlight is the charming coffee cart, Gourmet Coffee, situated at the entrance. It offers a delightful selection of sandwiches, wraps, and mouthwatering large chocolate chip cookies and oat crunchies. Overall, I would rate the Botanic Gardens a 10 out of 10 for those seeking to escape reality, relax, and perhaps read a book on the grass. For families with active kids, it might be a 6 out of 10 due to the limitations on play activities.

    This is a difficult review because the last time I was in the gardens was back in the 90's so as much as the staff are doing the best they can with the limited resources from Durban municipality, this wonderful place is but a 10th of its former glory, but this is Africa and expectations have changed so in fairness it is a peaceful and very relaxing place to visit, it is well maintained,so well done management and staff for doing the best that you can, there is a coffee trailer just inside the entrance which is okay but I don't know how he copes with larger crowds as we went midweek, so overall yes it is still worth a visit.👍 PLEASE NOTE the entrance has changed it is a bit further down so look out for that. Very pet friendly for dog owners wanting to take their loyal friends for a nice walk.

    Absolutely beautiful and unusual plants. Was fascinating to see the oldest tree. Shared this visit with my 10 yr old daughter. She loved it.

    Beautiful, tranquil place to have a picnic or party. Its also a perfect place for photo shoots. You are allowed to take dogs for a walk but must be on a leash. You sadly are not allowed to have braais. This is also the place where the trail of lights happen yearly. It best to go to this garden during the summer months. The rain makes the ground very soggy. It is free entry with ample parking

    Beautiful, peaceful and serene outing for the day. Tour guide Vishnu was very knowledgeable about the history and abundance of botany at this garden. I even scored a some excellent photo opportunities as well. This is truly an underestimated experience in Durban. Highly recommended to families
