A brief history

Beijing Botanical Garden was established in 1956 with financial support from the central government. After ten years of rapid development, it experienced the great pain of the Cultural Revolution in 10. In recent 20 years, especially after 1990, a lot of engineering construction has been carried out in the park. The new collection area is expanding, and more plant taxa are being collected.

Selected series

Several gardens stand out in China, because the selected collections are the best places for research and education. Most gardens are also very instructive for local people to understand botany and horticulture. In fact, if you are interested in collecting, every garden is great.

The rose garden covers an area of 7 hectares and has planted about 700 kinds of roses. A hidden fountain and a waterfall form an open theater with European style, and hybrid tea roses, miniature roses, antique roses and wild roses are planted along the passage.

Ornamental peaches are traditional decorations in China. Ornamental Taoyuan was built in early 1980, covering an area of 3.4 hectares. At present, 70 varieties have been collected. Plum blossoms, forsythia and cherries sent by Japanese friends can also be found in the garden. In the blooming spring, colorful flowers cover the whole hillside. New varieties with new colors and early flowering were bred.

China is considered to have the largest variety of lilacs in the world. Lilac has been planted as an ornamental plant for a long time. Lilac Garden, covering an area of 3.5 hectares, was built in the late 1950s and expanded in the early 1980s. At present, 22 species of clove have been collected. According to different varieties, the flowering time may last for 6 weeks. We are looking for new varieties from North America. And look forward to financial support for the project.

Botanical garden is also a highlight in the garden. It consists of conifers, maples, poplars, magnolias and many other tree species. Woods bring a lot of relaxation and comfort to tourists. It is also one of the largest conifer species in China.

Gardens provide visitors with an elegant place to learn bonsai art, appreciate and exchange works.

Protection and new projects

Protecting natural species is the main task of this garden. We participate in global or domestic recovery and reconstruction projects. New efforts are being made to collect more and more endangered plant species ex situ. There is a lot of work to be done.

Most collection areas have their own research projects or exploration projects. Recently, a new project on alpine research is under way. The colorful early flowering breeding plan of peach is under way.
