HOUSE RULES

When you visit us, please bear in mind that the Botanical Garden is part of the private grounds of the Ruhr-University Bochum. The Botanical Garden is primarily used for research and teaching and houses a valuable scientific plant collection. This applies to both the outdoor area and the greenhouses. We therefore ask all visitors to adhere to the following rules:
