Arboretum Bolestraszyce, Botanical garden in Bolestraszyce, Poland.
Arboretum Bolestraszyce is a botanical garden in southeastern Poland that spreads across a large property. The grounds feature thousands of plant species, including rare trees and shrubs, ponds, streams, and pathways through different sections.
The garden began before 1850 as a private plant and tree collection. Over time, the site grew into a scientific institution dedicated to collecting, studying, and protecting plants.
The name comes from the nearby Derena river, and the gardens show how people here have long worked to collect and study plants. Visitors find information signs throughout, and regular events help people learn more about the local natural world.
The arboretum has different opening times on different days of the week, starting early in the morning and closing in the late afternoon. Wearing comfortable shoes and allowing time for walking the paths is wise, as the grounds are large.
The lower section focuses on specialized collections of coniferous trees that support scientific research and regional biodiversity conservation. These carefully maintained stands help researchers learn more about these tree types and preserve them for the future.
