Tallinn Botanic Garden, Botanical garden in Pirita district, Tallinn, Estonia.
Tallinn Botanic Garden sits along the Pirita River and contains thousands of plant species spread across outdoor collections and glass structures. The grounds feature systematically organized plant sections that include both open-air displays and climate-controlled greenhouses.
The garden was established in the 1960s after a long planning process that stretched back to the previous century. Its creation was tied to scientific aims of the Academy of Sciences.
The garden serves as a hub for plant exhibitions and educational events that showcase botanical themes throughout the year. This role connects the space to the broader community's relationship with plants and natural learning experiences.
The best time to visit is between May and September, when longer opening hours allow for thorough exploration of the blooming garden. In winter months the hours are shorter, so plan your visit accordingly.
The garden focuses on plant acclimatization and demonstrates how local species can be integrated into landscaping practices. This research-oriented approach sets it apart from typical collection-focused botanical spaces.
