Wojsławice Arboretum, University arboretum in Wojsławice, Poland
Wojsławice Arboretum is a university garden in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship that spreads across 62 hectares and holds more than 6,500 woody plant species and 7,400 perennial varieties. The collection divides into several sections, ranging from old tree avenues to modern thematic gardens.
The site began in 1811 when the von Prittwitz and von Aulock noble families planted North American trees on their estate. The property was later converted into a botanical research garden and taken over by the university.
The Polish Millennial Garden section presents cultivars developed in Poland, growing alongside native species. Rare plants from the region find protection here and complement the other collections.
The garden opens from May through September and provides parking, restrooms, picnic areas, playgrounds, and food services. Main paths are wide enough for wheelchairs, while smaller trails through plantings can be unpaved and narrower.
The site holds Poland's largest daylily collection with 3,550 different varieties, recognized as a national collection by the Polish Dendrological Society. Some old trees from the 19th century still stand along the original avenues and are among the oldest of their kind in the country.
