Dendrological Garden in Průhonice, Botanical garden and arboretum in Průhonice, Czech Republic.
The Dendrological Garden in Průhonice is a botanical garden and arboretum located in the village of Průhonice, just southeast of Prague. It combines open lawns with wooded sections and ponds, all connected by wide walking paths.
The garden was founded in the 1960s to collect and study tree species in a systematic way. Over the following decades, the collections grew and came to document how plant breeding developed in the region.
The garden draws visitors who want to see plant species from around the world growing side by side in an outdoor setting. School groups from the region visit regularly to observe how the same plants look different depending on the season.
The garden is best visited in the warmer months when plants are in bloom and the paths feel most alive. The ground is flat and easy to walk, which makes it a good choice for visitors who prefer a relaxed pace.
The garden holds one of the largest collections of iris varieties in the world, with some cultivars tracing back to historical breeding programs. The iris beds are organized by variety, so visitors can follow how the work on these flowers changed over generations.
