FRANKFURT PALM GARDENS Cactus & Succulent Collection Greenhouse Tour PART 1 #cacti #succulents

Join me on a tour of the wonderful cactus & succulent greenhouses of Frankfurt's Palmen Garten (Palm Gardens) with it's magnificent collection of cacti and other succulents in the huge and state-of-the-art glasshouses of the Tropicarium. This Part 1 of the visit video tour focuses on the plant collections inside the Semi-desert Greenhouse and the Fog Desert Greenhouse. The greenhouses within the Tropicarium of the Palmen Garten are organised by climatic, ecological and vegetational zones!
