The Botanical Garden of Batumi is similar to the Garden of Eden from the Bible pages. There is no other way to name this amazing area where samples of the most rare, strange and beautiful plants of the world are collected! The huge territory of the garden hosts the collection of 2,037 tree species. Only 104 of them are of the Caucasian origin, the others were brought from different corners of the planet. And all of them miraculously get on: Japanese sakura, Canary date palm, cactuses, bamboos, palm trees, magnolias, cypresses and so forth. The overwhelming majority of species are represented by subtropical plants more than five thousand.
The garden planted in the way similar to Semiramis Gardens goes down in tiers from the mountain top to the sea: on the top there is the zone of the Himalayan plants, at the bottom - Mediterranean flora.
The Batumi Botanical Garden has no analogues in the world! Batumi citizens proudly say and they are right.
The unique botanical garden is located 9 km to the north from Batumi in the vicinities of Green Cape Resort. The garden was started by Andrey Krasnov.
