When the Anglo-Dutch Treaty came into effect, the Netherlands sent officials to resume control of the colony in 1816.
Among those on board are a German-born botanist named Caspar Georg Carl Reinwardt, who was appointed as head of agriculture, arts and science of the colony.
A year later he proposed the establishment of a Botanical Garden, a move which was supported by Governor-General Van der Capellen.
The Garden was officially founded on May 18, 1817 next to the palace ground through a collaboration with two botanists, William Kent from Holland and James Hooper from Kew.
The Garden was established as 's Lands Plantentuin ('National Botanical Garden').
He became its first director for five years, and gathered plants and seeds of economic potential from all over the archipelago for cultivation.
Much of his taxonomic work was catalogued by his predecessor Carl Ludwig Blume in 1823, who recorded 914 plants in the Garden.

In 1830, Johannes Elias Teijsmann, a Dutch botanist, became curator of Bogor Botanic Garden and spent more than 50 years developing the Garden.
Seven years later Justus Carl Hasskarl was appointed as his assistant curator and convinced the director to re-arrange the plantings in the Garden by taxonomic families.
Hasskarl proposed starting a library, which opened in 1842 as the Bibliotheca Bogoriensis, and constructed a separate building for the Herbarium Bogoriense, which opened in 1844.
J. Teijsmann wrote the second catalogue of plants which listed more than 2800 species by 1844.
He also has the Garden significantly expanded in 1852, with a 120 hectares (300 acres) new garden branch laid down near the mountainous town of Cibodas.

In 1848 the Garden received four seeds of West African oil palm, these trees were believed to be the mother tree in Southeast Asia from which numerous descendants were produced to support the growth of the palm oil industry in the region.
However the last original mother plant died in 1933.
The Garden also played major role in the introduction of Cinchona trees to Java in 1854, which would ultimately make the island the largest producer of quinine bark for malaria treatment.
Later J. Teijsmann had the Botanic Garden detached from the palace garden as an independent institution on May 30, 1868.

The growth in economy and the effective directorship of Rudolph Scheffer and Melchior Treub, fueled the maturation of the garden as a leading regional center for biological study.
In 1876 R. Scheffer, who was keen on agriculture development, founded the "economic garden" some distance from Buitenzorg.
There he had culture crops such as coffee, rubber, tobacco, soy and rice, cultivated and experimented.
In 1880, M. Treub became director of the Garden and organize it into an elaborate institutions.
He founded the Botanical laboratory (1884), Zoologicum Bogoriense (1894) and marine research laboratory (1904), in addition he also had the Garden expanded by 60 hectares (150 acres) in 1892.
Under his leadership fundamental researches were successfully completed on diseases that threatened plants of economic importance, such as the coffee-leaf fungal disease and the sereh-disease on sugarcane plants.

The Garden enjoyed wide international attention and was regularly visited by botanists and biologists from various countries to conduct researches.
This led to the opening of the new Treub's laboratory in 1914.
A shortage of land occurred in 1927 due to the growing plants collection.
Therefore, the Garden were extended east of Ciliwung river.
Part of the new section was arranged in similar manner to the main Garden, with the rest laid out as large lawns, avenues, ponds, teahouses and glasshouses for orchids.
Astrid Avenue was laid out there to honor Princess Astrid of Belgium's visit in 1928, the avenue is decorated with spectacular display of canna lilies of various colors.

A new branch of the Garden was opened near the town of Purwodadi in East Java, under the direction of the acting director Lourens Baas Becking on January 30, 1941.
The new Garden was intended for tropical-dry plants cultivation.
