JBCLM | 2010-2026
Visits
Welcome to the Botanic Garden of Castilla-La Mancha
The Botanical Garden of Castilla-La Mancha is a museum of the plant world. We invite you to visit at any time of the year to discover this space dedicated to the conservation, research, and dissemination of regional plants. Our main objective is the ex situ conservation of a significant number of threatened native species, and therefore, we study their ecological and adaptive characteristics in an increasingly changing world.
