Red Sea Global (RSG) has launched Botanica, an environmental nursery that serves as a green oasis dedicated to cultivating sustainable and climate-resilient plants in Saudi Arabia.
The nursery symbolises 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 contributes to enriching Saudi Arabia’s biodiversity.

Covering more than 1.8 million sq m, Botanica is the largest nursery in the region specialising 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 in sustainability.
Group CEO of Red Sea Global John Pagano said: “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 Saudi operations in 2020, Botanica has produced more than 7 million plants to support landscaping at the Red Sea and AMAALA destinations, with plans to reach 30m 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, 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 Saudi Arabia.
Botanica opens 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 specialised garden shop, and a petting zoo where visitors can encounter local animals.
