Discover the secrets, the unwritten history, and even anecdotes from both past and present with our programme of guided tours, the secrets not only of the Atlantic Botanic Garden itself, but also of many of the specimens that make up this magnificent place. The Garden is always different, each season of the year transforms it. Life never stops in this living museum. Each visit is unique, and on each one we will have the privilege of witnessing a different facet of nature.
Admission to the Atlantic Botanic Garden includes a guided tour at no extra cost.
The programme includes 6 different tours (one general, and five thematic) at different times, which will give us a better understanding of the Garden as a whole, and of its areas. All this from the varied points of view offered by history, ethnography, gardening, ecology and landscaping, bringing us closer than ever to botanical science, as ancient as it is surprising, through the flora and the valuable plant collections held in the Garden.
