Discover the captivating tropical oasis within the Botanical Garden of the University of Zurich. The largest hemispherical show houses exude a futuristic atmosphere, housing a vibrant ecosystem. As twilight sets in, the air comes alive with the melodic sounds of whistling frogs. These tiny Caribbean amphibians, having found their way into greenhouses worldwide alongside tropical flora, add a magical touch to the atmosphere. Experience the thriving presence of giant bamboo, dwarf banana, Panama palm, cola tree, and pepper bush. Adorning the trunks and branches of these woody plants, you’ll find stunning epiphytes like bromeliads, ferns, and orchids.
