Abstract

The Germà Macià Botanical Garden is one of the main collections of living plants in the Balearic Islands. Since its foundation in 1956 by Germà Macià, who was inspired by Padre Bonafé work, the botanical garden located at the Sanctuary of Lluc, in the Serra de Tramuntana, acquired many species of native flora and species from around the world. It currently houses 469 taxa, including cultivated and wild flora, with 28 endemics to the Balearic Islands. Also, the garden collaborates with other public entities to conserve threatened species and conducts outreach activities for both educational centres and society, raising awareness of the archipelago’s plant diversity.
