Introduction

edit

It's the earliest modern botanical garden in China's history. It was first founded in August 1927 by Prof. Zhong Guanguang (钟观光), who was the pioneer of the modern China's botany. Mr. Zhong was also a Zhejiang native from Zhenhai, Ningbo.

The garden is located inside the Huajiachi Campus, Zhejiang University, and it's just aside the Hujiachi Lake.[citation needed]

The garden has an area of 0.93 hectare, and owns more than 1000 different kinds of plants. It's the second largest botanical garden of Zhejiang University, after the largest Yuquan Botanical Garden, which is located near the Yuquan Campus, Zhejiang University.[citation needed]
