Henarathgoda 植物园

绿树成荫的 19 世纪植物园,这里种植了亚洲第一批橡胶树,周围种满了古树,还有一个长满百合的湖泊。

概述

Henarathgoda 植物园占地约 14 公顷,拥有高耸的热带树木、竹林、棕榈林荫道和点缀着睡莲的湖泊,是加姆珀哈镇外一处宁静的绿色休闲胜地。它最出名的是一小片亚洲最古老的橡胶树,这些橡胶树的幼苗在这里生长,推动了整个地区的橡胶工业。安静、不拥挤、鸟类丰富,是斯里兰卡四大国家植物园之一。

历史

The garden was established in 1876 by the British to acclimatise economically useful plants, and in 1876-77 rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) seedlings raised at Kew Gardens in London were planted here. These trees founded the rubber plantations of Sri Lanka and, from their seed, much of South-East Asia's rubber industry, making Henarathgoda a landmark in the region's economic history.
