Southern Federal University's botanical garden
Southern Federal University's botanical garden, University botanical garden in Rostov-on-Don, Russia
The garden features diverse plant collections across 200 hectares in the Temernik river valley of northwestern Rostov-on-Don, including numerous native and exotic species.
Founded in 1927 with 74 hectares, professors V. F. Chmielewski and V. N. Varshavski established this garden as the first botanical institution in South Russia's treeless zone.
The garden contains a mineral spring named St. Seraphim of Sarov, which holds recognition as an Orthodox shrine within the garden's boundaries.
Visitors can explore over 6,500 species of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants, with 1,600 tropical and subtropical species housed in dedicated greenhouses.
The garden's layout mirrors the North Caucasus map, with pathways designed to represent the region's railway network, creating a geographical representation through landscaping.
