历史沿革
东莞植物园前身为1958年成立的东莞县板岭畜牧场，1962年改建为东莞县板岭林场，1986年更名为东莞市板岭园艺场。1998年正式设立东莞市植物园，2006年将绿色世界城市公园并入并更名为东莞植物园。园区在原绿色世界城市公园基础上按植物园规划分两期建设，2016年至2018年完成一期建设，2021年至2023年开展二期第一批完善提升项目，现已建成16个植物专类园区的完整格局。
十六个专类园区
园区现建成16个植物专类园区，包括：岩石园（Rock Garden）、荔枝园（Litchi Garden）、植物进化科普园（Plant Evolution Popular Science Garden）、兰花园（Orchid Garden）、荫生植物园（Shade Plants Garden）、草药园（Herb Garden）、莞香园（Aquilaria Garden）、名树名花园（Famous Trees and Flowers Garden）、杜鹃园（Rhododendron Garden）、澳洲植物区（Australian Botanical Garden）、沙生植物区（Desert Plants Garden）、簕杜鹃园（Bougainvillea Garden）、彩叶植物园（Colored-leaf Plants Garden）、橡胶文化园（Rubber Culture Garden）、茶花园（Camellia Garden）和樟园（Camphor Garden）。
名树名花园内还设有华芳苑、樱花苑、马中友谊园、月季园、咖啡园、百花涧等特色园中园，形成层次丰富的植物景观体系。
科学研究与科普教育
东莞植物园为”全国自然教育基地”、”农业农村部国家荔枝良种重大科研联合攻关成员单位”、”广东省荔枝工程技术中心东莞研究基地”、”广东省科普教育基地”，并与华南农业大学及仲恺农业工程学院共建研究生联合培养基地。园区科研人员在植物分类学、生态学、园艺学等领域持续产出成果。
园区致力于热带亚热带地区珍稀濒危植物、岭南特色植物（荔枝、莞香等）和园林园艺植物（樟科，秋海棠属，石豆兰属，石斛属，芦荟属，月季，勒杜鹃等）的收集、保育与可持续利用研究，为广东省植物迁地保护体系重点区域植物园建设提供科技支撑。
物种保育
荔枝园是全园重点和特色园区，系统收集保存全球荔枝种质资源，建设面向全球的荔枝研究开放平台。同时园区重点开展东莞报春苣苔等乡土特色植物的野外调查与组织培养研究，推动珍稀濒危植物的迁地保护与开发利用。

Overview
Dongguan Botanical Garden is located in Nancheng District, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, covering a total area of 468.5 hectares (7,028 mu), with a planned garden area of 200.5 hectares (3,008 mu). The garden sits north of Dongguan’s administrative center and CBD, west of Shuilian Reservoir, east of Tongsha Ecological Park, and south of Shuilian Mountain Forest Park, forming the ecological green lung of Dongguan’s core urban area. The garden is open daily from 07:00 to 20:30.
Operating as a public welfare Class I institution under the Dongguan City Urban Management and Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau, the garden focuses on plant conservation, scientific research, public education, and ecological recreation. It maintains a collection of 4,834 plant taxa (including infraspecific units), including 316 nationally and provincially protected wild plant species.
Historical Development
The garden originated as the Dongguan County Banling Livestock Farm in 1958, was reorganized into the Dongguan County Banling Forestry Station in 1962, and renamed Dongguan City Banling Horticultural Farm in 1986. In 1998, it was officially established as Dongguan City Botanical Garden, and in 2006 merged with the Green World Urban Park to adopt its current name. Construction proceeded in two phases: Phase I (2016–2018) and Phase II Phase 1 improvement project (2021–2023), establishing the complete layout of 16 specialized plant gardens.
Sixteen Specialized Gardens
The garden now features 16 specialized plant collections: Rock Garden, Litchi Garden, Plant Evolution Popular Science Garden, Orchid Garden, Shade Plants Garden, Herb Garden, Aquilaria Garden, Famous Trees and Flowers Garden, Rhododendron Garden, Australian Botanical Garden, Desert Plants Garden, Bougainvillea Garden, Colored-leaf Plants Garden, Rubber Culture Garden, Camellia Garden, and Camphor Garden.
The Famous Trees and Flowers Garden further contains nested gardens including Huafang Courtyard, Cherry Blossom Courtyard, Malaysia-China Friendship Garden, Rose Garden, Coffee Garden, and Hundred Flowers Ravine, creating a richly layered plant landscape system.
Scientific Research and Education
The garden serves as a National Natural Education Base, a member unit of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs’ National Key Scientific Research Joint Project for Litchi Breeding Improvement, a Litchi Engineering Technology Research Center base in Guangdong Province, a Guangdong Province Science Education Base, and a joint graduate training base with South China Agricultural University and Zhongkai University of Agriculture and Engineering. Research focuses include conservation and sustainable utilization of rare and endangered plants from tropical and subtropical regions, Lingnan characteristic plants (lichi, aquilaria, etc.), and horticultural plants (Lauraceae, Begonia, Bulbophyllum, Dendrobium, Aloe, Rosa, Bougainvillea, etc.), providing scientific and technological support for the development of key regional botanical gardens in Guangdong Province’s plant ex-situ conservation system.
Species Conservation
The Litchi Garden serves as the garden’s flagship and distinctive collection, systematically collecting and conserving litchi germplasm resources from around the world, building an open platform for global litchi research. The garden also conducts field surveys and tissue culture research on rare and endemic species such as Dongguan Primrose (Chiritaandongguangensis), promoting ex-situ conservation and sustainable utilization of endangered plants.
Visitor Information
Address: 99 Green Road, Nancheng District, Dongguan City. Entry is free of charge. Group visits require advance application to the garden administration. The garden offers multiple recommended touring routes and is equipped with parking facilities for visitor convenience.
