Description of the attraction
Chisinau Botanical Garden is one of the main attractions of the city of Chisinau, a favorite vacation spot for residents and guests of the city. The botanical garden was founded in 1950 on the basis of the USSR Academy of Sciences and was located on the outskirts of the city (occupying an area of 76 hectares).

The modern botanical garden covers an area of 104 hectares, and is divided into several sectors - an arboretum, where trees, shrubs are represented - representatives of the typical flora of Moldova, the sector of floriculture, tropical and subtropical plants, etc. Most of the area is allocated for the experimental site and the hybridization sector.
After the last reconstruction of the park, a beautiful rock garden, a rose garden, a shaped garden, an iridarium, a pionarium and other sections appeared here. Numerous galleries, gardens, swimming pools will give visitors comfort and coolness. In the garden there are also various types of birds - wild ducks, blackbirds, pigeons, etc.
Visitors to the park can see in miniature the relief of the whole of Moldova, as its general landscape is an alternation of lowlands and hills, on which 24 types of soils are represented. Four artificial lakes have been created on the territory of the park, the water from which is used for watering plants.
Today, in the Chisinau Botanical Garden, there are about 10 thousand varieties of vegetation, one of the most respectable herbariums has been created - the Republican Herbarium, which has 200 thousand sheets, constant work is underway to create valuable populations of walnut and grape hybrids.

Can not understand???? Can not understand???? Why was cycling banned in the botanical garden ????? The most interesting thing is that you can't take your bike, but from the rental (in the same bot. garden) who took a bike … … ride … no problem.
