Zheskazgan Botanical Garden

Zheskazgan Botanical Garden is a protected green space in the city of Zhezkazhan that combines planted areas with water sections. The site holds diverse plant collections that reflect the local climate and regional vegetation.

The garden was founded in 1939 and received official protection status in 1941 as a site of republican significance. Since then it has played a key role in preserving local plant species.

Scientists at the garden conduct extensive research on local plant species and contribute to Kazakhstan's conservation efforts through educational programs and studies.

The site can be visited year-round to observe the local flora in different seasons. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes to explore the garden paths easily.

The garden operates as part of the Institute of Botany and Phytointroduction, which maintains specialized collections for research purposes. This makes it more than a visitor destination but an active scientific center.
