The botanical gardens have a history going back to colonial times. In 1890, the land around the sanatorium was cleared to make way for Aburi Botanical Gardens.
The first curator was William Crowther, a student at Royal Botanic Gardens (now Kew Gardens) in Richmond, London. The botanical gardens played a pivotal role in encouraging the production of cocoa and rubber in 1890s Gold Coast. For reference to those who may not know, “Gold Coast” was Ghana’s name under British colonization until independence in 1957.
