The Conservatory and Botanical Garden of the city of Geneva is a museum and an institution of the City of Geneva.
It was founded in 1817 in a former area of Bastions Park in 1817 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle. The Botanical Gardens were transferred to the Console site in 1904, constructed by the Genevan architect Henri Juvet in 1902-1904 specifically to house the Delessert herbarium held at Bastions. The collection grew in 1911-1912 with the gift of the Emile Burant herbarium, then again in 1923-1924 with the posthumous donation of the de Candolle herbarium. In its present location, it occupies an area of 28 hectares adjacent to Lake Geneva and the park of the United Nations Office at Geneva and ranks as one of the five most important in the world. The gardens themselves were designed by Jules Allemand. The Botanical Garden's greenhouses initially remained at the Bastions site for financial reasons. Then, in 1910-1911, the architect Henri Juvet built a Winter Garden along the former Chemin de Varembe, which was moved to its present location close to the railway lines following the construction of the Palais des Nations and the various associated urban redevelopments that took place. The elegant glass and iron structure is in line with constructions of this type in fashion in the second half of the 19th century. It originally comprised two adjacent but separate sections: the Winter Garden and a greenhouse, creating an asymmetrical effect. A symmetrical wing was added to the first in 1935. The greenhouses at Bastions were removed to make way for the Wall of the Reformers.
