Botanical Garden of the Khmelnytskyi National University

The Botanical Garden of the Khmelnytskyi National University is a protected area featuring collections of Ukrainian native plants, exotic species, and specialized sections dedicated to Carpathian and Central Asian flora. The grounds are connected by maintained pathways leading to different themed sections that guide visitors through various habitats.

The garden was established in 2003 and quickly became part of Ukraine's national network of protected natural areas. As a young institution, it focuses on building knowledge about plant species and their habitats for research and education.

The garden serves as a learning space where both students and visitors can explore native and foreign plant species together. People come here to understand how different climates and environments shape the plants that grow there.

Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as the grounds are larger than they first appear and pathways lead through different habitats. It is wise to allow plenty of time to explore the various plant collections without rushing through.

The garden operates specialized greenhouses designed to grow and maintain tropical plants within Ukraine's continental climate. These structures showcase engineering solutions for creating microclimates that would not otherwise exist in this region.
