A botanical garden or botanic garden[nb 1] is a garden dedicated to the collection, cultivation

and display of a wide range of plants labelled with their botanical names. It may contain

specialist plant collections such as cacti and succulent plants, herb gardens, plants from

particular parts of the world, and so on; there may be greenhouses, shadehouses, again with

special collections such as tropical plants, alpine plants, or other exotic plants. Visitor services at

a botanical garden might include tours, educational displays, art exhibitions, book rooms, open-

air theatrical and musical performances, and other entertainment.
