Opened on December 29, 2004, the garden spans 150,000 square meters and was created to restore a previously degraded area. The area suffered from mineral extraction, waste deposition, and fires.

Other gardens showcase collections of orchids, ornamental plants, cacti, aromatic and medicinal plants, and species from the Amazon region. Visitors can explore the garden's trails, relax by artificial lakes and waterfalls, and learn about the local flora. The garden also has a library, a seed bank, and a herbarium for research purposes. The Jardim Botânico connects to the Parque da Cidade via an 8-kilometer cycling path. The garden is open daily from 7 am to 5 pm.
