'''Botanical Garden'''

A '''botanical garden''' is a dedicated space where plants are grown and displayed for the purposes of research, conservation, and education. These gardens may contain a wide range of plant species, including both native and exotic plants. They often include greenhouses, arboretums, and other specialized buildings and areas to support the growth and study of specific types of plants.

== History ==

The concept of botanical gardens dates back to ancient times, with the earliest known examples found in ancient Egypt and Rome. These early gardens were often associated with medicinal plants and were typically attached to universities or other institutions of learning. The modern botanical garden, with its focus on plant conservation and public education, began to emerge in the 16th and 17th centuries.

== Functions and Features ==

Botanical gardens serve several key functions. They are important sites for [[plant conservation]], with many gardens maintaining living collections of rare or endangered plant species. They also play a crucial role in [[botanical research]], providing scientists with access to a wide variety of plant species in a controlled environment.

In addition to their research and conservation roles, botanical gardens are also important centers for public education. Many gardens offer programs and exhibits designed to educate the public about plant biology, ecology, and conservation.

== Notable Botanical Gardens ==

There are many notable botanical gardens around the world. These include the [[Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew]] in London, the [[Missouri Botanical Garden]] in St. Louis, and the [[Singapore Botanic Gardens]], which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
