Kinshasa Botanical Garden

The Kinshasa Botanical Garden (French: Jardin botanique de Kinshasa, abbreviated as JBK), formerly known as the Fernand De Boeck Park and Parc de la Révolution (1970–1978), is a botanical garden located in Gombe, Kinshasa, in the western part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Established in 1933, the garden spans approximately 8 hectares—of which 1 hectare is currently occupied by shops linked to the adjacent Kinshasa Central Market. Strategically located opposite the Kinshasa Zoological Garden on Kasa-Vubu Avenue, the site is bounded by Avenue du Commerce to the north, Rwakadingi Avenue to the south, Avenue des Marais to the east, and Kasa-Vubu Avenue to the west.

Administered by the Congolese Institute for the Conservation of Nature (Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature, ICCN), the Kinshasa Botanical Garden serves both scientific and educational purposes. It houses a collection of 286 plant species, including a nursery, a seed bank, a herbarium, and an arboretum that emphasizes native flora, featuring over 100 tree species.
