Botanical Garden Kassel

The Botanical Garden in Kassel is accessible free of charge, has many beautiful seating, a "library", a Katkteenhaus and many interesting themed beds.
Opposite is a nice playground with a café. In the adjacent park Schönfeld you can go for a nice walk and there is a sound path.

The botanical garden is accessible free of charge and open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. However, the side gates are already closed in the afternoon. The cactus showroom also has limited opening times.Different themed gardens are presented and the complex is beautifully embedded in the natural surroundings. Several benches offer enough opportunities to relax.

In 1912, a school garden was built in the vicinity of Schönfeld Castle on the site of what is now the Botanical Garden. After the earthworks had been completed, the botanical school garden was completed in 1916, the year of the war. This year is considered the official "year of birth" of the Botanical Garden. In 1982 the area was reduced to a simple green area. In 2002, the re-establishment of the Botanical Garden by the Environment and Garden Authority of the City of Kassel finally began.
In the cactus show house you will find over 300 different cacti and succulents.
