Botanic Garden of the Science Faculty, Charles University

The garden is part of the Faculty of Science at Charles University, it covers an area of 3.5 hectares and is visited by approximately 100,000 visitors annually. It serves as a site for scientific research and teaching for students of Charles University and other schools and contributes to the lifelong education of the public.

The collection of subtropical woody plants includes around 350 different taxa, all of which are grown in pots. During the warm months, the plants are displayed outdoors at their summer site, while in winter, they are relocated to a greenhouse. This collection features long-established specimens of Casuarina, Myrtus, and Camellia. Notably, it includes the critically endangered Cupressus dupreziana, part of a conservation project in collaboration with Algerian conservationists. Due to climate change, this species can no longer reproduce naturally in its native habitat. The garden successfully cultivated these rare plants, completing the first round of reintroduction into the wild in February 2020. The tropical woody plants are permanently housed in the tropical section of the greenhouse.
