Yekaterinburg Dendrarium

The Yekaterinburg Dendrarium is a scientific facility with two separate park sections showcasing various tree and shrub species. The collections feature both native species from the Ural region and plants from other places that thrive in the area's continental climate.

This facility was established in the early 1900s to systematically study and document plant species in the Sverdlovsk region. That early scientific work laid the foundation for the collections and educational activities seen today.

The site has long served as a gathering place for school groups and researchers interested in regional plant life. Today, visitors can observe how the collections organize different tree species into distinct sections that illustrate both local and introduced varieties.

Both park sections are accessible from 8 March Street and Pervomaiskaya Street with marked pathways for visitors to explore. For deeper understanding of the collections, guided tours through the botanical displays can be arranged.

The collection focuses especially on tree species selected for their ability to withstand extreme temperature swings between harsh Siberian winters and warm continental summers. This specialized focus makes the site particularly valuable for understanding cold-hardy plants.
