Le jardin botanique de Limbé (LBG]) est le premier jardin botanique du Cameroun. Il a été créé en 1892, sous l'ère coloniale allemande, à Victoria (ancien nom de Limbé), entre l'océan et le mont Cameroun. D'abord à vocation agronomique, c'est devenu l'une des principales attractions récréatives et touristiques de la Région du Sud-Ouest. Le jardin est créé en 1892 par une équipe allemande dirigée par Paul Rudolph Preuss. À l'origine, c'est un jardin d'essai, centre d'expérimentation et d'acclimatation d'espèces tropicales utiles, telles que l'hévéa, le café, le cacao, le palmier à huile, le bananier, le teck, la canne à sucre, à destination du Kamerun et d'autres colonies allemandes. À son apogée, il était considéré comme l'un des plus importants jardins botaniques tropicaux du monde. En 1920, les Britanniques prennent la relève, en collaboration avec les Jardins botaniques royaux de Kew qui prodiguent conseils et formations. Après leur départ en 1932 et jusqu'en 1958, le jardin est administré directement par du personnel camerounais, puis, dans la foulée de l'indépendance, en 1961, il est pris en charge par le Gouvernement. En 1988, un partenariat conclu avec le Royaume-Uni permet sa rénovation et son développement. À visée agricole au départ, le jardin botanique s'oriente désormais vers la conservation, l'éducation, la science, le tourisme et les loisirs. Aujourd'hui le jardin, qui couvrait 250 hectares à l'origine, n'en compte plus que 48. Certains bâtiments – le laboratoire, la bibliothèque – ont pendant quelque temps été transformés en hôpital. On y trouve maintenant un hôtel de standing. Un centre d'attraction appelé « Jungle Village » a été aménagé et sert de cadre à l'organisation de manifestations culturelles pour le plaisir des touristes. Plusieurs pistes aménagées permettent de visiter le jardin. Ce sont : la piste côtière, qui permet aux touristes d'avoir une belle vue de la partie occidentale du jardin ; la piste de la biodiversité qui, comme son nom l'indique, permet aux visiteurs d'avoir une vue sur toute la biodiversité du jardin ; la piste de Bota pour découvrir de grands arbres et les animaux sauvages ; la piste qui longe la rivière, où on trouve des arbres et des plantes de plus de cent ans.

For those who appreciate nature, the botanic garden is a worthwhile visit. It showcases numerous plant species, trees, and herbs. I was fascinated to learn that it was originally a trial site for foreign plants, especially Brazilian species, to see which could adapt to Cameroon. The garden’s success in cultivating these plants gave it its name. I encourage you to explore it

A treasure. Definitelay worth seeing and visit. Many different types of exotic plants, palms, fruits and orchids. A long guided tour with an explanation for little money. The botanic garden was founded by Germans. Unfortunately not well cared for now. Land from the garden near the beach was illigelly took away to built a hotel.
