Batumi Botanical Garden

Located on the slopes of the Caucasus Mountains, overlooking the Black Sea, Batumi Botanical Garden is a breathtaking oasis that should be on every traveler’s Georgia itinerary. Spanning over 111 hectares, this lush paradise showcases more than 5,000 plant species from around the world, making it one of the largest botanical gardens in the former Soviet Union.

What makes this garden special isn’t just its impressive collection of plants – it’s the stunning location. No wonder it’s become one of the most photographed spots in Georgia. When planning your Georgia tour packages, including this botanical wonderland will give you the perfect blend of nature, education, and photos you’ll love.

The garden was established in 1912 by the Russian botanist Andrey Krasnov, who dreamed of creating a garden that would bring together plants from similar climates worldwide. Today, his vision lives on as you journey through nine geographical sections representing flora from East Asia, North America, Australia, and beyond – all without leaving Georgia.
