It was established in 1955. Today it covers an area of 194 decares, and a large part of its territory has the status of a protected area. The Botanical Garden specializes in the development of collections of tropical and subtropical exotics, as well as other unique plants. It is famous for its collection of large cacti and succulents, exposed to the open air during the warm months on an area of about 1 decare. In 2012 opened its doors a permanent exhibition of cacti and succulents, and so lovers of these prickly exotics can enjoy their colors and beauty all year round. The garden with cold-resistant cacti is also an attraction. The exotic species successfully introduced in the garden, such as rubber, candy, paper tree, ancient ginkgo biloba, metasequoia, large-flowered magnolia, lyre tree, etc., are also of interest to specialists and tourists. In the greenhouses of the garden ripen lemons the size of a handball, as well as many other exotic fruits such as bananas, papaya and others. Emblematic is the carpet flowering in the Divine Garden and the beautifully landscaped ground floors and corners of the garden, which feature annual spring and summer flowers, alpine and aquatic vegetation, ferns, protected and rare species, lianas, flowering and evergreen shrubs. More than 4600 plant species are grown in this unique garden.
