ऐतिहासिक पृष्ठभूमि और विकास
प्रारंभिक वानस्पतिक पहल
यह बगीचा 19वीं सदी के अग्रणी फार्मासिस्ट इग्नाशियो रोड्रिग्ज अलकोनेडो को सम्मानित करता है, जिन्होंने डॉ. एंटोनियो डे ला कैल वाई ब्राचो के साथ मिलकर पुएब्ला में वानस्पतिक अध्ययन की नींव रखी। पौधों की खेती और अनुसंधान में उनके शुरुआती प्रयासों ने इस क्षेत्र में औपचारिक संरक्षण और शिक्षा का मार्ग प्रशस्त किया, जो आधुनिक हर्बेरियम की अवधारणा से पहले का है (एस्ट्रेला रोजा; मेक्सिको डेस्कोनोसिडो).
