Tel Aviv's Botanic Gardens

In 1973 some people with a vision got together and founded at the heart of Tel Aviv’s University magnificent Botanic Gardens which spread over about 25 dunams. Their goal: to introduce to the public the various kinds of flora in Israel, and provide and hour or two of peacefulness to whomever is looking for quietness and splendid isolation. Along the yeas some plants from outside the country were added, as well as areas such as a greenhouse for flora that is typical to rain forests, beautiful landscape observation points located on small limestone cliffs, narrow paths that lead to enchanted corners, and more. The largest garden is Naftulsky Garden. It spreads over more than 10 dunams and each area in it is dedicated to a different area in Israel- from the Galilee to the Negev. Wandering around it seems like paging through a plants guide (only much more enjoyable and fragrant). This place also features a cacti garden, a garden of economic plants, a palm greenhouse, medicinal plants garden, water plants garden, and more.
