Taras Shevchenko Garden, City park in central Kharkiv, Ukraine
The garden spans 0.75 hectares and features a collection of 100 ornamental deciduous and coniferous trees, along with decorative flower beds and shrubs.
Founded in 1804 by Vasily Karazin alongside Kharkiv University, the garden served as both a botanical research site and a public recreational space.
The central bronze monument dedicated to Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko includes sixteen additional statues representing characters from his literary works.
The garden provides direct access to the Opera and Ballet Theater, Ukraine Concert Hall, and the Regional Palace of Children and Youth Creativity.
Twenty ancient oak trees within the garden remain from the original forest that protected the northern approach to the Kharkiv fortress.
