![[Photo: Arboretum]](../icons/ar.gif){kind=icon} About
1800 different trees and shrubs are grouped together according to
their relationship in this large part of the Botanic Garden. This
section, with its old trees and colourful flower meadows is inviting
for relaxation and informative walks. Conifers and Ginkgos are among
the most ancient seed plant representatives. They belong to the
gymnosperms (plants with naked seeds) which date from around 280 million years ago. The remainder of the Arboretum comprises examples
from the angiosperms (plants with seeds enclosed in an ovary) which
have dominated the world´s vegetation for the last 150 million
years. The „Gertrud-Schaub-Pergola“ is a series of archways
wich supports a variety of woody climbing plants. Surrounding the Rose
Pavilion you can see many types of wild roses along with garden
varieties. |
