This green oasis is home to an incredible variety of plant species, many of which are rare and endangered. The garden offers visitors the opportunity to explore Brazil’s botanical diversity, with carefully planned trails that lead through different ecosystems, such as tropical forests, savannas and wetlands. Each section displays a meticulously curated collection of plants, providing an enriching learning experience about the richness of Brazilian flora. In addition to its importance as a conservation space, the Plantarum Botanical Garden also plays a key role in botanical research, contributing to the understanding and documentation of Brazilian plants. Harri Lorenzi, with his expertise and passion, led many of these research initiatives, leaving a lasting legacy for future generations of scientists and nature lovers. In short, the Plantarum Botanical Garden and Harri Lorenzi are inseparable when it comes to conserving Brazilian flora.
