The 'Tage der Artenvielfalt' (Days of Biodiversity) at the Botanical Garden of the University of Vienna offers hands-on activities and guided tours focused on protecting endangered plant species in Austria. Visitors can learn about and engage with local flora through various interactive stations, quizzes, and explorations.
The 'Tage der Artenvielfalt' (Days of Biodiversity) event series at the Botanical Garden of the University of Vienna aims to educate visitors about the protection of endangered plant species in Austria. Taking place at the Botanicum, the event features a main 'Tag der Artenvielfalt' on May 22, 2025, and 'Sonntag der Artenvielfalt' on four subsequent Sundays in June, July, August, and September 2025, all from 1 PM to 5 PM. Visitors of all ages (recommended 6-99) can participate in hands-on activities such as potting plants to take home, cleaning and examining seeds under a microscope, and engaging in a plant quiz with chances to win prizes. Guided tours of the Botanical Garden are also available during the Sunday events, offering opportunities to explore biodiversity, catch insects, and study plants up close. All activities are free of charge and do not require registration, though children must be accompanied by an adult. This initiative is supported by the Biodiversity Fund of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Climate Protection and NextGenerationEU.
