Conservatoire et Jardin botaniques de la Ville de Genève
Services
The Botanical Garden houses a playground for children, the Enchanted Forest. Situated next to the buvette (serving light meals and refreshments) during good weather this is also a place for open-air stories. Nearby, the Botanic Shop provides visitors with a large choice of nature books and a selection of items such as seeds of rare vegetables, posters, games, souvenirs and post cards. In the centre of this area, the Villa le Chêne contains the reception and an exhibition room that looks out onto the spectacular horticultural displays surrounding the lawns of the Chêne. Just below, in the direction of the lake, the Carrousel of Fairy Tales.
The Botanical Garden also has a role in the identification of wild plants presented by the public where it replies to questions concerning their horticultural properties.
