Jibou Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in Jibou, Romania.
Jibou Botanical Garden is a research facility in Romania that holds greenhouses, aquariums, and plant collections from different climates. The grounds spread across a large area near the Someș River and are operated by an institute dedicated to biological research.
The garden was founded in 1968 by a biology teacher and grew around a historic castle. Early development brought the first greenhouses that became the foundation for the research operation today.
The garden maintains research partnerships with 450 botanical institutions globally, publishing annual scientific findings through the Index Seminum publication.
The garden sits in a valley near Jibou town and welcomes visitors throughout the year. Come prepared for changing weather, as the mountain location brings shifting conditions.
The grounds sit on a highland plateau next to the ruins of a medieval castle, framing the green spaces. This combination makes the place special for those seeking to connect history and nature.
