botanical gardens
Curated plant collections
A botanical garden is a curated space where plants are cultivated for scientific study, conservation, and public enjoyment.
Unlike ordinary parks, botanical gardens organize plants systematically—by species, region, or ecosystem—and label them for educational purposes.
Many feature greenhouses, rare species collections, and research facilities: We spent the afternoon wandering the botanical gardens.
The plural form is standard even for a single institution.
