Botanic garden
A quiet and ideal place for those who want to spend relaxing moments immersed in the green and where unspoiled nature reigns supreme. Founded by a group of Germans in 1892, under the direction of Paul Preus, the botanical garden was used as a test center for the acclamatizzazione of exotic plant species introduced locally as cocoa, coffee, palm oil, bananas, sugar cane and rubber , to be circulated both in Cameroon and in other German colonies, and, apparently, in his heyday, the botanical garden of Lambe was one of the most important tropical botanical gardens in the world. To complete the work, experimental centers have been set up for the reception of high-altitude species such as tea Buea, (capital of the Southwest Region is characterized by a cool climate), which, among other things, during the German colonial period of the Empire, was chosen as the capital of the German colony of Cameroon. The Garden had a herbarium, laboratories, classrooms, a museum and a library, and today is worth visiting not only for its spacious gardens and lovely, but also for the presence of an amphitheater, to the graves of war and more yet.
