Planten un Blomen is a park with a size of 47 hectares in the center of Hamburg. The name is Low German for "plants and flowers".

The first plant was a Platanus, planted by Johann Georg Christian Lehmann in November 1821. It can be seen next to the Hamburg Dammtor railway station entrance of the park.

The park is famous for its water-light concerts, public theater and music performances. There is no entrance fee. In addition to the gardens, there is a large playground in the southern area of the park. This makes the park a popular place in the city. It contains the old Botanical garden of Hamburg.
