Historical development

During the Japanese colonial period (1896 AD), the Taipei nursery was built in the outer space of Xiaonanmen, Taipei, with an area of less than 5 hectares. Later, the nursery was managed and purchased by the Forestry Experimental Farm, with an area of up to 15 hectares. The mother trees collected from all over Taiwan or Japan were planted and planted with famous brands to popularize plant education. It was not until 1921 ad, when the Central Research Institute was established and the nursery was taken over by the Forestry Experimental Farm, that the nursery was officially changed It is called today's Taipei Botanical Garden and has collected tree species from all over the world. By 1930, 1120 species of plants had been planted in the botanical garden. In the Second World War, the construction of the park stopped and the trees withered away. After the restoration of Taiwan, the Forestry Experimental Institute reorganized the park and actively introduced and planted it, which gradually became the grand occasion of today's Taipei Botanical Garden.

There are various kinds of plants in the park, and the intention of the park can be seen at will. For example, setting up billboards to explain the plants, arranging volunteers to explain to the public, dividing the plants in the park into different visiting themes, and planning guided trails are all designed to provide people with a place of high quality rest and education.

On the trunks of hundreds of palm plants, we can see the traces of World War II shells. Through the official buildings of the Yamen of the Qing Dynasty, we can feel the footprints left by history.
