It has been operating since 1811 and is one of the oldest facilities of this type in our country. Also called the "oasis of beauty and peace". Initially, it occupied an area of ​​about 5 hectares, but in subsequent years it was gradually enlarged. It is located on the north side of the cathedral of St. John the Baptist and the church of St. Krzyża, partly within the historic Ostrów Tumski. The founders were Professor Heinrich Friedrich Link and Professor of Natural History and Agriculture F. Heyde. In the years 1816-1830, the Wroclaw garden was managed by Ludolf Christian Treviranus, and then the systematist of plants Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck (1830-1852), Johann Heinrich Robert Göppert (1852-1883), Adolf Engler (until 1889), Karl Prantl (until 1893) ), Ferdinand Pax (until 1926), Peter Stark (until 1928), Johannes Buder (until 1945). Plants in the Wroclaw Botanical Garden come from both nature and other botanical gardens from around the world. There are over 11,500 different species and varieties of soil and greenhouse plants. Thanks to information boards we can learn about history, interesting facts and information about them. There are also 27 natural monuments in the garden (yew, gingko, plane trees, beeches and oaks). Here you can directly commune with fauna and flora, rest and walk along designated paths and paths. You can cross a pond with a footbridge made of wooden beams. The garden consists of nine departments. The first of them are decorative ornamental plants (western part of the garden). There are flowering perennials, hyacinths, daffodils, mowers, peonies and daylilies. In the systematics work, covering an area of ​​about 2 ha, we can admire herbaceous plants and trees, shrubs and bushes. Subtropical and tropical plants can be found in the aquatic, mud and aquarium plants department. The arboretum and rock garden are native and foreign species of trees and shrubs, as well as rock plants. The rest of the garden is occupied by a panorama of nature (an exhibition showing all eras and periods), a tissue culture workshop, didactics and morphology of plants, greenhouse plants (a collection of about 5000 taxa). The Botanical Garden in Wroclaw is available to visitors from April 1 to November 30 from 9:00 to 18:00, while in May and June on all Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from 8: 00-20: 00. Free admission is granted to preschool children, students of the Faculty of Biological Sciences of the University of Wroclaw, chairmen of PTTK and teachers guiding the group, and newlyweds in wedding dresses.
