botanic garden
Curated flora collection
A botanic garden is a landscaped area where plants are cultivated for scientific study, conservation, and public education.
Unlike ordinary parks, botanic gardens typically organize specimens by taxonomy, region, or habitat, with labels identifying species: We spent the afternoon wandering through the botanic garden's orchid collection.
Also called botanical garden.
