Protected area: In 2005 the territory of the Botanic Garden was declared Protected Area – ‘an idiosyncratic landscape created in harmonious co-existence of man and nature. Here professionals and amateurs can observe natural ecosystems and appreciate the rich biodiversity of the region.
The biggest attraction in the Botanic Garden is the outdoor exposition of large-size cacti and succulents. It is also interesting for both experts and tourists to see the successfully introduced in the garden exotic species – the ancient Ginkgo, the meta-sequoia (a tree with such dimensions and age outside of its natural aerial can be seen only in the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew in London), the Japanese raisin tree (Hovenia dulcis) and the rubber tree, the holm oak, the evergreen magnolia Grandiflora etc.
