National Botanical Garden in Dhaka Featuring Tropical Landscapes and Palm Displays in a Natural Setting
Located in Mirpur, Dhaka, the National Botanical Garden is the largest botanical garden in Bangladesh and a key institution for plant conservation, education, and research in the region. Established in 1961, the garden spans a wide area of tropical landscapes that showcase both native and introduced plant species suited to Bangladesh’s warm, humid climate. Palms are a visible component of the garden, appearing throughout the grounds in open lawns, along pathways, and near water features where they contribute to the overall tropical character. Unlike highly curated palm collections, the emphasis is on broad botanical diversity, with palms integrated into the wider landscape rather than presented as a dedicated collection. The garden also serves as an important resource for students, researchers, and the public. With its scale, climate, and accessibility, it offers a genuine tropical setting where palms can be experienced as part of everyday plant life.
