Katse Botanical Gardens is a centre for Alpine flora in Katse village, Lesotho.
The gardens were created as a result of plant rescue missions to mitigate the impact of the Katse Dam, particularly spiral aloes. The collection has a focus on traditional Sotho medicinal plants and has a large seed bank.
At an altitude of 2229 meters it claims to be the highest botanical garden in the southern hemisphere.
