The gardens are on the [[Hebrew University of Jerusalem]] campuses of [[Mount Scopus]] and [[Givat Ram]]. The first garden was established in 1926 at Mount Scopus. After 1948, when the university in Mount Scopus was occupied by [[Jordan]], it was opened in a new site, in 1954, on the new campus university, in Givat Ram. After the 1967 war, when Mount Scopus was reoccupied by Israel, the garden in Mount Scopus was opened again.
