Khabarovsk arboretum, Protected botanical garden in Khabarovsk, Russia.
The Khabarovsk Arboretum is a protected botanical space featuring trees and shrubs from the Russian Far East. The grounds span multiple planted sections connected by walking paths that guide visitors through different plant communities.
The arboretum was established as Khabarovsk expanded in the mid-twentieth century to safeguard rare regional plant species. This conservation response represents efforts to protect the Far East ecosystem during a period of rapid urban growth.
The arboretum serves as a gathering place where people come to understand the distinctive plant life of the Far East region. Over time, it has become a space where locals connect with their natural environment through quiet exploration.
Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since exploring the different sections involves considerable walking. The best time to visit is during warmer months when plant growth is most visible throughout the grounds.
The proximity to the Amur River creates a microclimate allowing plants from different zones to thrive in the same location. This unusual mixing of plant species makes the collection distinctive for botanical enthusiasts.
