Ogród Dendrologiczny Uniwersytetu Przyrodniczego w Poznaniu, Research botanical garden at Poznan University of Life Sciences, Poland
The Dendrological Garden is a research facility containing over 800 species of trees and shrubs distributed across expansive grounds. The collection includes rare specimens with specialized sections dedicated to berry varieties and ornamental plants.
The garden was established in October 1919 as a teaching facility for the university's agriculture and forestry programs. Over time it expanded significantly and gained recognition as a major botanical research center.
The garden serves as a working research space where botanists and students observe rare tree and shrub species up close. Visitors can see how scientific study takes place directly among the plants.
The garden is accessible from several entrances, including access points from Warminska Street and from Golecin Forest nearby. Visitors should check regular opening times, as these may change during special events or seasonal activities.
The garden houses Finnish rhododendron varieties bred in Helsinki that display remarkable cold tolerance. These plants demonstrate how researchers develop species able to thrive in harsh climates.
