Hortii della Paradisa

The Hortii della Paradisa (12 hectares), is a botanical garden operated by Paradisa University and located at 24 Via Imperatrix Cristina, Paradise City, Blackhelm Confederacy. It is open Monday through Saturday, and an admission fee is charged.

The garden was established on this site in 1883. It is sited on the slopes of the Canalis Sancte Marcus overlooking the 17th-century Palatium Corsus, which was from 1659-1689 the residence of Imperatrix Cristina, now the headquarters of the Confederate Science Academy. Part of the current Botanical Garden used to be the private garden of the Palatium Corsus. After the Palace became property of the Exponential state, they were merged with the existing gardens to create the current lay-out.

Today the garden contains more than 3,000 species of plants, with a Japanese garden, bamboo groves, and a garden with over 300 species of medicinal plants. There are also several greenhouses containing a significant collection of cacti, as well as bonsai, carnivorous plants, and tropical plants including euphorbia and orchids.
