Lonely Planet review for Jardín Botánico

Gardening is an ancient pastime in Mexico – Nezahualcóyotl was planting cypresses here six centuries ago for their sheer aesthetic value – and the recently opened Jardín Botánico, 300m east of the anthropology museum, carries the tradition forward. Highlighting Mexico’s plant diversity, the 4-hectare complex is divided into sections that reflect the country’s varied climate zones, with a special emphasis on the plants and trees of central Mexico. Still in a nascent stage, it features a desertlike patch of diminutive cacti and a greenhouse full of rare orchids.
