An impressive botanical garden with a great diversity and many rare plants.
The Zohriya (in Arabic= Vase or
flower vessel) garden was established in the southern
side of the Gezira island with a total area of 49 Feddans
in order to supply the Khedivial palaces and nurseries
with sufficient plants and flowers. Delchevalerie (1870)
established in this garden the first station for acclimatization of plants and where special attention was paid for
propagation of tropical fruits such as the bread tree, the
sapodilla plum and the mango. The last station was
created in 1876, and was divided into 4 main sections
(fruit trees, vegetables, ornamentals and experimental
stations). The plants that constituted these 4 sections
were furthermore grouped under 60 sub-classes. A large
number of foliage plants such as palms, cycads, Aralia
and Dracaena that were introduced from India, America
and Australia were also grown in suitable accommodations. In 1917 this garden was affiliated to the Ministry
of Agriculture to be a station for acclimatization and
propagation of plants as well as a place for horticultural
exhibitions.response / report this review -
