botanic gardens
Curated living museum
Botanic gardens are parks dedicated to cultivating and displaying plants, typically organized by species, region, or theme.
They serve both scientific research and public education, often maintaining collections of rare or medicinal plants.
The term is interchangeable with botanical gardens: We spent the afternoon wandering the botanic gardens.
