History and story
Founded in 1912 through Andrey Krasnov’s initiative for plant cultivation, research and acclimatisation. The institution and Georgian Encyclopedia give about 108.7 hectares. This measures area, not the length of a walking route.
What to see
Nine geographical sections represent East Asia, the Himalayas, Australia, New Zealand, both Americas, Mexico, the Mediterranean and the Caucasus. Collections include magnolias, camellias, bamboo, palms and citrus. The regional portal lists about 1,800 woody and 5,000 herbaceous plants, not fruit varieties.
Visiting information
An electric vehicle service covers parts of the hilly route; confirm operation and price. The regional portal lists 09:00–20:00 and 25 GEL for foreigners. Verify seasonal hours at bbg.ge or +995 422 270033. The garden site was intermittently inaccessible during our check, so current closing time was not independently confirmed.
