  • The Limbe botanical Gardens is the principal botanic garden of Cameroon. It was created in 1892, during the German colonial era, in Victoria (former name of Limbe), between the ocean and Mount Cameroon. Initially with an agronomic intent, it has become one of the main recreational and tourist attractions of the South-West Region. As you see in this video clip, it is the compilation of beautiful flowers garden to be displayed along with interview one on one with one of the career at the garden
    Location:
    Limbe Botanic Garden is situated on the Morton Bay coast in Limbe, at the mouth of the Limbe River which flows through the garden. It lies in the Fako Division of the South West Province of Cameroon.
    Collections
    The garden has around 1,500 taxa (1,000 herbaceous and 500 woody plants). There are rare or threatened plants: 150 endemic, 100 from the southwest, including Calamus, Prunus africana and Gnetum. Certain plants are the subject of particular attention, in particular the African palm trees, the endemics of Mount Cameroon and the Musa. Others are cultivated for conservation purposes: Irvingia gabonensis, Garcinia kola, Afrostyrax kamerunensis [fr], Cola spp., Prunus africana, Gnetum, Pterocarpus soyauxii, Diospyros, Rauvolfia vomitoria, Nauclea diderrichii, Terminalia spp., Annickia chlorantha, Eremomastax speciosa [fr], Bryophyllum spp. and Physostigma venenosum.[5]
    The botanical garden also houses a herbarium which held around 21,000 specimens in 2001 and, more recently, 30,000. Its acronym in the Index Herbariorum is SCA.
    Tourism:
    A centre of attraction called "Jungle Village" has been set up and serves as a framework for the organisation of cultural events for the enjoyment of tourists.[9] Several landscaped tracks facilitate access within the garden. These are :
    the coastal track, which affords a view of the western part of the garden;
    the biodiversity trail which, as its name suggests, allows visitors to have a view of all the biodiversity of the garden;
    the Bota trail to discover large trees and wild animals;
    the track that runs along the river, where there are trees and plants over a hundred years old.
    Military Cemetery:
    The Botanical Garden houses the graves of several soldiers from the Commonwealth of Nations, four from World War I and sixteen from World War II.
