A.V. Fomin Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in central Kyiv, Ukraine.
The garden extends across 22.5 hectares with 17 greenhouses and 12 conservatories containing over 10,000 plant species from various climate zones.
Founded in 1839 under Rudolf Trautvetter leadership, the garden initially served as a research facility for Kyiv University students and faculty members.
The garden operates as an educational center where students and researchers study botany, conduct scientific experiments, and document plant species development.
Visitors can explore the garden every day between March and November, with guided tours available in multiple languages through advance reservations.
The garden contains a 32-meter-high climatron housing tropical palms, including a 200-year-old Livistona palm transported from Kremenets Botanical Garden.
