Hryshko National Botanical Garden, National botanical garden in Pecherskyi District, Kyiv, Ukraine.
The Hryshko National Botanical Garden is a large botanical garden in Kyiv that houses thousands of plant species from different climate zones around the world. The site includes greenhouses, cultivation areas, and research facilities that serve both visitors and scientists.
The garden was founded in 1936 and is named after Mykola Hryshko, a Ukrainian botanist from Poltava. The facility received official national recognition as a botanical garden in 1983.
The garden is divided into sections that represent different landscapes, such as the Carpathian mountains or Central Asian regions. These areas show how plants grow in various parts of the world and how they relate to their natural environments.
The garden is large, so wear comfortable shoes and allow plenty of time for your visit. Clear pathways guide you through the different areas, making it easy to explore the plants at your own pace.
In 2012, a Korean garden inspired by Seoul's Changdeok Garden was created through collaboration with the Korean government. This garden displays traditional Korean design principles within the botanical grounds and represents a rare example of cultural exchange in Kyiv.
