Liberec Botanical Garden covers approximately 3.5 square kilometers, on which 10 public access pavilions have been built. And an additional 1.5 sq. kilometers are occupied by 9 greenhouses, where only people of science are allowed. If you look at all this economy from the height of the drone, you will see two huge glass squares, consisting of greenhouses and greenhouses, closely adjacent to each other - during the inspection you will not have to go outside.

Liberec Botanical Garden
In winter, the garden's opening hours are shorter than in summer. There is absolutely nothing to watch on the street, but inside it is cool, you can walk in a circle from door to door. Lots of cacti, a couple of tropical gardens where it's hot and the humidity is close to 100%, the camera instantly fogged up.
In addition to the plants themselves, there are pavilions with the inhabitants of the underwater world, with birds, insects and reptiles, and in one place they even imitated a waterfall. A total of 14 botanical themes, divided by climatic zones. Some exhibitions do not have a permanent registration and change, which allows you not to be bored every time you visit.
The garden has a very well-groomed area, and I'm now talking about the pavilions themselves, and about the area around them: there is a neat, bright park with pedestrian paths and benches. Of course, in summer it is more interesting here than in winter, but even on my arrival there was enough color here, unlike Russian winter.
It is quite a suitable place not only for fans of botanists, but also for any person who is not alien to natural beauty, albeit in glass walls. You can come here on vacation even with children - they will be interested. And after the walk, there is something to do here: a small cafeteria where you can refresh yourself before going out into the city.
I warn motorists that due to the popularity of the attraction, you should not rely on easy parking nearby - the streets are narrow, there is a private sector, there are enough cars of our own. But you can easily get here by public transport.
I was delighted. I was a botanist only as a child, and I still like botanical gardens very much, as well as my passion to be in nature. After the Liberec Garden, there is an aftertaste of Asia, as I went to Thailand: this jungle smell and delicious humid air, which cannot be confused with anything.
Historical reference
I traditionally looked for information on the net about this attraction, but an amazing thing: the Liberec Botanical Garden has existed for over 120 years, and there is nothing interesting about it even on the official website. Who, when, by what means, the solemn launch date - all this is silent, except for the vague information that the garden was made by private collectors.
If you have any interesting information - I'm waiting for you in the comments..
