The Botanical Garden is a place where a variety of indigenous and non-native plants are cultivated outdoors and in greenhouses and plays an important role in a variety of research areas including plant and gardening science, public education and making people aware of the importance of plants and the need to protect them. In addition, the botanical garden is used as a genetic reserve for endangered plants. The botanical gardens provide the facilities to study and conserve biodiversity. Using different scientific methods, it is possible to identify the plant species of Iran and determine their distribution range. Research on the methods of breeding and cultivating valuable species from a conservation and economic point of view is another area of interest in botanical gardens.
