    Beautiful oasis in the middle of Mainz! I've been here plenty of times and the gardens are beautiful throughout the whole year! Perfect place to stroll around and explore plans and trees from different parts of the world. There is always something new and different blooming so you never get bored. My favourite part is what I call the “alley of the giants” where you get to walk among huge sequoia and pine trees. I must say every time I am here I feel the garden is unfinished. I understand it’s a university garden, but some of the parts are not really maintained, high grass is interfering with plants and some of the places are just piles of rock and dust. However it is a place of peace and relaxation, there are plenty of benches to sit on and near the university exit is a seating area under the huge tree with an open library book shelf. Toilets are available as well. There are multiple gates to enter exit and there is no fee. Last entry at 5:45 PM and the garden closes at 6 PM. At the entrance you can scan a QR code and get some information about the garden and its flora in English! I am yet to visit the greenhous, which is apparently amazing! Last visited in May 2022.

  • 5/5 Francis N. 5 years ago on Google
    It was great. Quick friendly service, tasty food, something for everyone and an open and relaxed atmosphere. Prices were not out of line for comparable quality food in Dresden.

    Lovely place to chill and look for some species. There are lots of places to take pics and enjoy the natural environment.

    Super garden! Almost every warm day we take a walk in it. Different flowers blum in different season. It's quite a beautiful place for family walking.

    It is hidden, but it worth the visit. There is no fee, and the atmosphere is really cool.
