Nikitsky Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in Nikita, Crimea.
The Nikitsky Botanical Garden extends over 1,100 hectares on the Black Sea coast, containing more than 15,000 plant species from various climate zones.
Duke de Richelieu and botanist Christian von Steven established this scientific research center in 1812 as the first botanical garden in the Russian Empire.
The garden maintains extensive collections of roses, chrysanthemums, and orchids, hosting annual flower exhibitions that attract visitors from across Eastern Europe.
Located 7 kilometers from Yalta, the garden offers guided tours in multiple languages and features separate sections for Mediterranean, Caucasian, and Asian flora.
Scientists at the garden have developed over 400 new plant varieties, including specific cultivars of peaches, almonds, and figs adapted to the local climate.
