Botanical Garden

The Botanical Garden in Potsdam , is a botanical garden and arboretum maintained by the University of Potsdam.

The garden was established in 1950 on two adjacent plots of land: part of the Sanssouci Park, and the Paradise Garden . After World War II, the Sanssouci park was controlled by the Red Army, and briefly formed a branch of the Moscow Botanical Garden of Academy of Sciences. In 1950 today's garden was created at the northern edge of Sanssouci with the Maulbeerallee dividing the garden into two distinct areas. To the north is the Paradise Garden, now a teaching and display garden; and to the south side is the institute building, greenhouses, and outdoor space.
