A.V. Fomin Botanical Garden

The botanical garden is 22.5 hectares (0.225 km2), with 8,000 plant species, including 143 recorded in the Red Data Book of Ukraine.

The Garden is famous for its exotic plants: it has the biggest collection of succulents among the countries of the former Soviet Union.

The greenhouse, which was built for the largest and the oldest palm trees in Northern Eurasia, is among the highest in the world.

The vestibule of the Kyiv Metro station Universytet, is located on the northern edge of the garden, which was opened in 1960.

For this purpose, from Kremenets Lyceum (Kyiv) 513 plants were brought, that were temporarily placed in the Tsar (now City) garden.
