My favourite place in Montevideo - Juan Bonanata

The Botanical Garden is the first and the only botanical garden in the country. It’s known for its important work in the teaching of botany. The Garden also can function as a center of scientific activities, as well as information and training in botanical science to the public.

 

   In their trips the visitors may know the plants of different geographical areas of the planet and a large collection of  aquatic plants, dried plants and shade plants.

   Visitors can arrive at the garden from different areas of the city travelling on van or public transport.

The creator of the Botanical Garden was the French landscape and architect Charles Racine.

The Botanic Gardens Museum is named Lombardo because Lombardo was born here and lived there all his life.
