Syrets arboretum

Syrets Arboretum is a botanical garden in Kyiv spread across about 7 hectares with labeled collections of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants. The vegetation is organized along walking paths that allow visitors to explore different plant groupings in a structured way.

The garden grew from a demonstration park at a flower farm founded in the late 1800s, with some plantings dating to 1875. This made it one of the city's early botanical collections and helped build Kyiv's green heritage.

The park functions as an educational center where visitors learn about plant species through informative signs and guided botanical tours.

The garden is located on Vladimir Salsky Street in the city and welcomes visitors throughout the day from morning to late afternoon. Wear comfortable shoes since you will be walking along paths between different plant groupings.

The collection holds more than 900 plant species, including rare specimens that appear in Ukraine's Red Book of endangered plants. Notably, the garden protects several decorative varieties of thuja that you will not easily find elsewhere.
