A living wealth
The heart of the garden is its collections. More than two thousand species of trees, shrubs, flowers and herbs are gathered here to be studied, conserved and shown to people.
The garden's collections are not a random set of plants but a carefully gathered "living collection": every plant has its place, its name and its scientific value.
Collections
The garden holds more than 2000 species of trees, shrubs, flowers and herbaceous plants. Among them are representatives of the flora of Azerbaijan, the Caucasus and other regions of the world.
Trees and shrubs form an arboretum, while seasonal flower beds change the garden's face from spring to autumn. It is a collection that lives and breathes all year round.
What the garden is made of
A collection of trees and shrubs from around the world and the local flora.
Seasonal flower plantings that change the garden all year round.
Plants of Azerbaijan and the Caucasus region in natural groups.
Herbaceous plants important for science and conservation.
Collections
Each season reveals the garden anew: spring blossom, dense summer green, autumn colours. The collections are chosen so that the garden is alive at any time of year.
Behind this lies the work of gardeners and scientists who for years select, propagate and conserve plants.
The make-up of the collections changes over time; exact figures are best checked with the garden itself.
