The Buenos Aires Botanical Garden officially opened on 13 January 1898. Designed by landscape architect Carlos Thays, the site became a major center for plant conservation and education. The garden featured thousands of species arranged in themed sections. Its shaded paths and greenhouses provided a peaceful public space in a rapidly growing city. The garden supported scientific study of native and foreign plants. Over time, it became one of the capital’s most visited cultural landmarks. Its opening marked an important step for urban environmental planning.
