The Jardin d'Essai du Hamma, established in 1832 in the Mohamed Belouizdad district of Algiers, spans 32 hectares and features over 1,200 plant species. Originally created as a model farm and test garden, it evolved into a center for acclimatizing plants and providing trees for public and private use. The garden includes a botanical section, an arboretum, and a lake added in 1860. After restoration between 2001 and 2009, it reopened as a research hub and visitor attraction, showcasing its historical layout and diverse flora.

Nice gardens to visit when in Algiers, some impressive trees. Easily accessible by metro from where you can also take a cable car up to the monument. 150dzd entrance fee is well worth it

Literally I would call this place A piece of the Garden of Eden... given the enchanting beauty that floats on it in every sense of the word... I envy those who have never visited this place before. I want to live their amazement, enthusiasm and astonishment when they enter this paradise for the first time.

It is a very large garden and it has the names of every tree and plant. It is a quiet place and full of the sounds of birds and ducks. It has ancient statues and also a huge Tarzan tree. I recommend visiting it because it is considered a very important place for photography.
