A botanical garden is a place where
plants, especially
ferns,
conifers and
flowering plants, are grown and displayed for the purposes of
research and
education. This distinguishes them from parks and pleasure gardens where plants, usually with showy flowers, are grown for public amenity only.
Botanical gardens that specialize in trees are sometimes referred to as
arboretums. They are occasionally associated with
universities and
zoos.
