This verdant oasis spans over 92 hectares and serves as a sanctuary for nature lovers, researchers, and those seeking a tranquil escape from the bustling city life.

The garden was designed to reflect the diversity of Malaysia's rich flora. It is divided into several themed sections, including the Explorer's Trail, Canopy Bridge, Palm Hill, Sun Garden, and the Lakeside, allowing visitors to embark on a botanical journey through various landscapes. The meticulously curated gardens showcase more than 700 species of tropical plants, contributing to the conservation of plant biodiversity.

The pavilion was a gift from the King of Morocco, symbolizing the strong diplomatic ties between Malaysia and Morocco.

The garden is not only a place for leisure and tourism but also serves as a center for education and research, with facilities such as the Ethnobotany Park, which focuses on plants used by indigenous people for traditional medicine, and the research center where scientists study plant species and their uses.

Open year-round, the Putrajaya Botanical Garden offers a variety of activities for all ages, including guided tours, nature walks, and even paddle boat rides on the lake.
