Mangyshlak experimental Botanical Garden, Protected botanical garden in Aktau, Kazakhstan.

The garden extends across 39 hectares of land, containing over 1,500 species of trees and shrubs adapted to the arid climate conditions.

Founded in 1972, this scientific establishment operates under the Science Committee of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The botanical garden serves as a research center where scientists study and document the regional flora of the Mangystau region and its ecological patterns.

Researchers at the facility conduct experiments with cold-resistant palm species that can withstand temperatures down to minus 10 degrees Celsius.

Seven new species of vascular plants were discovered through expeditions from this garden, including Artemisia sieversiana Willd and Ribes aureum Pursh.
