The Botanical Garden in the north of Cologne – also called Flora – has 12,000 plant species from all over the world on its 11.5 hectare site. From American redwoods to European plants and Asian plants.

Apart from the diversity of plants, major themes in the Cologne Flora are their importance for humans in nutrition, technology and medicine.
