Kryvorudskyi Arboretum

Kryvorudskyi Arboretum is a protected botanical garden in Poltava Oblast featuring pathways that wind through collections of tree and plant species. The grounds display both native flora and carefully selected plants from other regions suited to local growing conditions.

The National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine established this institution in 1962 to preserve plant species and conduct botanical research. This founding reflected a broader effort to develop scientific resources for studying regional flora.

The site functions as a place where visitors can learn about plant species native to Ukraine and how they connect to local traditions and the natural environment. People come here to understand the importance of these plants in regional ecology.

The grounds are accessible through marked entrances and visitors can explore the collections on their own or join guided tours. Sturdy footwear is helpful since the pathways cover different types of terrain.

The grounds maintain specific conditions that allow both native plants and carefully selected non-native species to thrive side by side. This balance between local and foreign species makes the place especially valuable for botanical research.
