The experimental greenhouse
A selection of cactaceous plants
Several projects are currently in progress at the greenhouse:
a) An indigenous plant project known as PHOENIX-2010, which is part of the Spanish Strategy for Plant Conservation and is being undertaken in collaboration with Spain’s other botanical gardens. Its aim is to conserve the largest possible number of those plants which face the greatest threat of extinction by cultivating them here in our botanical gardens, where they can be studied and protected and social awareness of them raised.
b) The cactus collection project: in order to expand the collection of cacti and succulents, a number of rare but important species belonging to this group of plants will be obtained via exchanges with other botanical gardens in America and South Africa and acclimatised to the conditions in our own.
The research greenhouse
The experimental greenhouse
Plants are germinated and adapted here for botanical research and to expand and enrich the garden’s collections of living flora.
The greenhouse is home to both ornamental and indigenous plants, some of which are endangered or
on the verge of extinction.
