The Educational Garden (Jardí Didàctic) at Burjassot Campus has a recent origin dating back to the creation of this Campus at the end of the 70s, thanks to the initiative of several professors of the Faculty of Biological Sciences of the Universitat de València. Its main objective is to contribute to the establishment of new gardens at the Campus with shrub and tree species typical of our natural vegetation. At the same time, it aims to make advantage of its educational potential to learning botany through the observation of living plants. Due to the previous gardens which were already planted there, these plants cohabite with other used in conventional gardening.

In fact, with the purpose of facilitating the localization and direct observation, the plants are accompanied by a label which provides information about the common and scientific name, family, descriptive aspects, as well as some data related to their natural habitat and distribution.
