Guided visit "Jardí Botànic de Barcelona"
Friends of the CCCB
Exclusive for Friends of the CCCB
We invite the CCCB Friends to a guided tour of the Jardí Botànic de Barcelona, a green space located in Montjuïc Park where vegetation from all over the world adapted to the Mediterranean climate is represented.
Situated on gently sloping terrain in Montjuïc Park, Jardí Botànic de Barcelona (Botanical Garden of Barcelona) offers visitors a different walk in each season of the year as they observe vegetation from the five regions in the world with a Mediterranean-type climate.
Throughout the tour, we will learn about plants from countries on the Mediterranean Sea and other parts of the world, such as California, Chile, South Africa and Australia: from olive trees to holm oaks, fan palms, medicinal plants, eucalyptus, ficus, Australian kurrajongs, Chilean cacti, yuca, agave and Californian palm trees.
The purpose of the Jardí Botànic is to conserve and disseminate collections of Mediterranean plants from around the world. Among its main objectives are: the conservation and documentation of the natural heritage of Catalonia; to promote botanical and naturalist culture; and to promote knowledge of and respect for nature.
