Palmengarten Frankfurt
"Plants, Life, Culture" has been the motto of the Palmengarten since 1997, which also marks the undisputed speciality of this garden in its signet. Since its beginnings, the traditional Frankfurt institution has been a place where plants from all parts of the world can be discovered - and at the same time a haven of muse and music, recreation and sophisticated conviviality, as already revealed by the heart of the garden, the historic Gesellschaftshaus with its "Flora", the magnificent palm house.
