Botanical Garden

cultural

The Botanical Garden is a cultural and educational venue hosting seasonal events such as flower festivals, exhibitions on water-plant relationships, and themed celebrations like 'Day of Dostoevsky.' It features specialized areas including a tropical greenhouse, bonsai displays, and a Japanese garden with ornamental ponds. The site has experienced technical issues with electronic ticket sales during peak periods, leading to long queues at physical kiosks. Events include masterclasses for children, jazz performances, and exhibitions of rare plants such as the 'Queen of Night' cactus.
