Jerusalem Wildflower Sanctuary

The Jerusalem Wildflower Sanctuary in Neve Yaakov began in 2001 as an attempt to rescue the many beautiful native plants which flourished in French Hill before a massive new construction project destroyed their habitat. The same procedure was repeated in 2012-2013 when over 400 units of flats was constructed in Neve Yaakov. Thousands of plants found a new home in the Sanctuary. 

​

The native trees, bulbs and seeds which have been planted in this formerly neglected and barren spot become the focus of an educational research and recreational center.  At the present time, over 270 species are detected, 30 protected species are growing in the Wildflower Sanctuary.
