A '''botanical garden''' is a place where [[plant]]s, especially [[fern]]s, [[conifer]]s and [[flowering]] plants, are grown and displayed for the purposes of [[research]] and [[education]]. This distinguishes them from parks and pleasure gardens where plants, usually with showy flowers, are grown for public amenity only. [[Botanical garden]]s that specialize in trees are sometimes referred to as [[arboretum]]s. They are occasionally associated with [[zoo]]s.
