About the Jardín Botánico de Castilla-La Mancha

The Botanical Garden of Castilla-La Mancha occupies 7 hectares of land located on the outskirts of the City of Albacete. Here visitors can contemplate indigenous plant species and communities of the region such as vegetal formations common to our landscape (manchegan wetlands, shrubland, garrigue, pine and oak forest, etc) , along with recreations of plant communities from “specially protected habitats” (e.g. gypsum steppes, sandy areas, thorny deciduous shrub land) due to their uniqueness and endangered status.
Also forming part of this mosaic are collections of traditional crops, medicinal plants, aromatics, bulbs, ornamentals along with greenhouse exhibits of Cactaceae, palms, feerns and wealth of species from Canary Islands.
