描述
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.
Highlights:
Pack a picnic

Visit the “tree of life” by Kofi Sale

Take fun photos
o Aburi Gardens is one of Ghana’s most scenic attractions, and it is sure to bring out the photographer in you. From the avenue of tall palm trees lining the entrance to the abandoned helicopter, there’s a photo spot for everyone. Be sure to also check out the 150+ years old kapok tree on the main lawn.
o Visit the Adom Waterfalls
After Breakfast, drive to Aburi Botanical Gardens is situated in Aburi, a small town in the Eastern Region of Ghana. It is about an hour’s drive north of Accra, the capital of Ghana.

The botanical gardens remain its main attraction today.
