About National Botanical Garden

This attraction is run by the Botany Department, Santo Domingo. There is a herbarium in the garden. Here, they provide an educational tour for interested citizens and students. This tour gives us an opportunity to learn about different specimens there and how they are ordered and catalogued. One can also see the different processes to which specimens are subjected. For this, guests need to book 5 days advance. There is a literature consultation available in the botanical gardens. This is especially for students interested in botany as well as the general public. They provide information on botany texts. You need to fill out a registration form and take your bibliographic material. If you are interested in taking photographs, they also provide a photo session where you need to pay 2000 DOP for getting your personal photos, birthday pictures, wedding photos clicked. The garden also has a special provision of renting out some rooms and outdoor areas if you are interested in hosting any cultural sessions.
