An island of serenity in the heart of Jerusalem
Magical surrounding of Jerusalem Botanical Gardens serves both as calm respite for visitors, and center for coexistence programs for Jewish and Arab children
The Jerusalem Botanical Gardens at the Hebrew University provide a picturesque getaway from the noise and hassle of city life.
Spanning some 120 dunams, the beautiful gardens are not only an attraction for tourist and local visitors, but also an educational center that offers coexistence programs for Jewish and Arab children, as well as activities for disabled children and adults.
