Aburi Botanical Gardens

05°51′N 000°11′W · Eastern Region

Hill-station gardens above Accra, laid out in 1890.

The Aburi Botanical Gardens were established in 1890 on the Akuapem ridge, about an hour north of Accra and noticeably cooler than the coast. Avenues of royal palms, strangler figs and a collection of tropical and medicinal plants make them a long-standing weekend escape.
