A green oasis in the heart of Abkhazia, the Sukhumi Botanical Garden, has spread its open spaces in the hospitable city of Sukhumi. Founded back in 1840, it ranks among the most ancient and majestic parks in the Caucasus, remaining faithful to its mission of enriching and preserving flora for more than two centuries. Nikolai Raevsky, who stood at the origins of the creation of the garden, foresaw its future as a place of power, beauty and learning. Despite the tests of time, including devastation during the Russian-Turkish wars, the garden was reborn like a phoenix from the ashes, thanks to the fortitude and tenacity of its patrons.
Today, the Sukhumi Botanical Garden is a whole universe, where more than 4,500 plant species from all over the world demonstrate unique biodiversity. Five specialized departments, from flora to plant protection, ensure that every corner remains a source of new discoveries and experiences. Labyrinths of green paths, decorated with bright flower beds, shady alleys and secluded recreation areas with swimming pools - everyone will find a corner here to their liking.
The Sukhumi Botanical Garden is not only the pearl of Abkhazia, but also a place of attraction for nature lovers, researchers and those who seek solitude among the splendor of nature. This is an ideal place for a family holiday, romantic walks or in-depth study of flora. A visit to this garden promises to be not only a pleasant, but also an educational experience, giving guests a feeling of unity with nature and inspiration that will stay with them for a long time.
