history
Originally planned and built as part of the Joanneum in 1811, the Botanical Garden moved to Schubertstrasse, today's location, in 1887.
Construction of the first greenhouse began in 1889. It was in use until the new greenhouses opened in 1995; demolition was planned for 1997, but was not carried out as a result of the involvement of a citizens' initiative. Today the greenhouse in need of renovation is a listed building and has not been used.
In 1989 the construction of the new greenhouses began. They opened on June 25, 1995.
The greenhouse built in 1889 is called the old greenhouse .
Access
With the exception of the period from December 24th to January 6th of the following year, both the open air area and the greenhouses are freely accessible via the entrance in Schubertstrasse. The botanical garden including the greenhouses are open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. From May 15th to September 15th the garden is open until 4:30 p.m.
