A Tropical Botanical Garden

The garden occupies an area of about 7 hectares, integrating a Botanical Garden with circa 5 hectares, that includes a heating greenhouse, and other shelters of several kinds. 
The Tropical Agricultural Garden Museum was created on the 25th January 1906, on the context of the organization of the agricultural services of the state and of the colonial agronomical teaching, on the Agronomy and Veterinary Institute, denominated then as Colonial Garden. 

This Garden, with a strong pedagogical vocation, also works as a display window for the IICT activities, or even as a stage for exhibitions and other events that might attract public and increase its visibility.
