Balkan Botanic Garden of Kroussia, Botanical garden in Kilkis Regional Unit, Greece.
Balkan Botanic Garden of Kroussia is a botanical garden in the Kilkis area that spreads across a large forested area with many different plant species. The space is organized into thematic sections where visitors can explore plants from Greece and the wider Balkan region.
The garden was founded in 2001 with support from European development programs and is now part of a government research center. It was created as a project to protect and study the plant diversity of the Balkan peninsula.
The garden displays old fruit varieties and plants that were traditionally used in folk medicine, telling the story of how people in this region lived and worked. These collections show which plants mattered to daily life and agriculture in the Balkans.
The site is located in a forested area at higher elevation and offers walking paths and picnic areas for rest. With information signs and guided tours available, visitors can easily explore the different plant sections.
The site houses a specialized laboratory for plant propagation as well as a large collection of dried plant material for research. This scientific foundation allows the garden to contribute actively to plant science beyond being a place for visitors.
