About the Oman Botanic Garden
Oman Botanic Garden is located in Muscat in the Sultanate of Oman. The Garden, currently under development, is an exciting, dynamic and ground breaking project.
The Garden will combine the cultivation, study and conservation of Oman’s rich native flora with creative large scale native habitat displays and amenity planting under the over-arching themes of plant conservation, environmental education and horticultural excellence.
Oman Botanic Garden will be a regional and international leader in conservation and will lead the way in innovation and learning. The Garden will bring the plants and habitats and plant-related traditions of Oman to life through displays, exhibitions, events and activities to engage a wide range of visitors.
