Pushkin garden, Tbilisi, Garden square in Freedom Square, Tbilisi, Georgia.
Pushkin Garden is a green space in central Tbilisi with walking paths, benches, fountains, and a mix of local and imported plant varieties. The space is framed by six major streets and offers multiple entry points with direct access to nearby cafes and shops.
The garden was laid out in 1885 as the New Garden and renamed for Pushkin in 1887, on the 50th anniversary of the poet's death. In 1892 a monument to Pushkin was unveiled near the spot where he stayed in Tiflis in 1829; the police chief Rossinsky initiated it. The Bolshevik Kamo was buried here in 1922, but his remains were later moved to Vake cemetery. A large reconstruction was completed in December 2022.
The garden's name honours Alexander Pushkin, given in 1887 for the 50th anniversary of the poet's death. A monument to him was unveiled in 1892, near the spot where he stayed in Tiflis in 1829; the house itself is gone, but a memorial plaque marks the facade of building 5. In 2008 MP Nugzar Tsiklauri proposed renaming the garden after Warsaw.
The garden is easy to reach from multiple directions at a central intersection, making entry and exit straightforward. Comfortable footwear is recommended since paths vary, and the space can get crowded depending on the time of day.
