Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind the Red Sea and AMAALA destinations, has launched Botanica environmental nursery that serves as a green oasis dedicated to cultivating sustainable and climate-resilient plants in the Kingdom.
The Botanica environmental nursery symbolizes innovation in environmental preservation by integrating cutting-edge agricultural technologies with a sustainable vision aimed at restoring natural ecosystems across the Red Sea region and beyond.
By focusing on the cultivation of native, drought-resistant plants and transforming arid land into thriving green spaces, Botanica environmental nursery contributes to enriching Saudi Arabia’s biodiversity.
Covering over 1.8 million square meters, Botanica is the largest nursery in the region specializing in ornamental plants and landscape design. It represents a core part of RSG’s commitment to placing nature at the heart of development and setting an example of sustainability.

“This project is more than just a nursery. It is a strategic initiative to revive the Kingdom’s biodiversity through the adoption of eco-friendly agricultural practices and the cultivation of plants adapted to local conditions. We are laying the foundation for a greener and more sustainable future.”
Since it began operations in 2020, Botanica environmental nursery has produced over 7 million plants to support landscaping at the Red Sea and AMAALA destinations, with plans to reach 30 million plants by 2030. The nursery is known for its rich plant diversity, with all species undergoing rigorous evaluations to ensure compatibility with the local ecosystem.

Approximately 400 people are employed at Botanica environmental nursery, 25 percent of whom are from the Red Sea region, reflecting RSG’s commitment to sustainable development and local community empowerment. In addition to supplying plants for RSG’s tourism projects, Botanica also supports landscaping initiatives across the Kingdom.
Botanica has opened its doors to visitors, offering interactive experiences that showcase the nursery’s beauty and natural environment. These include guided tours to learn about different plant species and cultivation methods, planting workshops that contribute to expanding green spaces, a café offering nature-inspired healthy meals, a specialized garden shop, and a petting zoo where visitors can encounter local animals.
RSG invites those interested in experiencing Botanica’s offerings to book their visits and explore its educational and recreational programs, which promote environmental awareness and foster a deeper connection between communities and nature.
