Palmetum of Santa Cruz de Tenerife

The Palmetum of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is a 120,000 m2 (30 acres) botanical garden specializing in palms (Arecaceae). It is situated on an artificial hill overlooking the ocean in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. The gardens feature a system of waterfalls, streams, and ponds, as well as a museum dedicated to palms and a display shade house. The project began in 1995 on a former landfill site and opened to the public in 2014. The collection includes approximately 600 palm species, with a focus on those native to islands around the world. Other trees and shrubs from different plant families are also displayed, arranged into biogeographical sections. The gardens are maintained without the use of pesticides or fertilizers, and various species of wild birds are commonly observed within the grounds.
