6 different gardens and 4 different climate zones
This botanical garden is located at the Emir’s Bayan Palace and occupies an area of 15,793 m². Almost 3,500 m² of space is devoted to the cultivation of various exotic plants in the glasshouse. Despite temperatures hitting peaks of 53 degrees Celsius outside, the indoor climate is carefully controlled. With innovative climate systems and high-quality installations, we can properly regulate the temperature and humidity, which means that plants from all over the world can be found in this beautiful enormous botanical garden.
It is not the only well known botanical garden where Smiemans has built a glass construction, also for Keukenhof, Hortus Botanicus Leiden, Inverewe and RHS Wisley.
