About the Jardin Botanico (Instituto de Botanica)

The main objectives of the Valdivia Botanic Garden are:

* To show the region's indigenous plants, especially those with conservation problems;
* To make people realise that it is not enough to conserve species without also conserving the environments in which they grow;
* To show the range of growth forms of plants;
* To demonstrate the adaptions of plants to their surroundings;
* To show the main ways in which flowering plants have evolved.
