The mission of the garden is to collect, cultivate and display selected herbaceous species, trees, shrubs and phytocoenosis for scientific purposes, didactics and popularization.
As such, on January 26, 1946, City Board of Bydgoszcz passed a resolution to grant the Botanic Garden with the status of research institution, with a separate organizational structure.
[3] Between 1946 and 1951, technical installations were set up, a small greenhouse and a farm house were built and the garden gradually replenished with new species of trees and bushes, native and foreign.
In 1999, the botanic garden, comprising about 220 species of trees and shrubs, was handed over to the UKW and became a didactic and scientific laboratory of the Department of Botany of the Institute of Biology and Environmental Protection of the Faculty of Natural Sciences.
[6] The garden occupies a partly covered area featuring wide, mildly descending terraces, with a slight slope from north to south.
This allegoric ensemble, called The four parts of the year, was in the initial 1930's botanic garden lay out, offered by Polish sculptor Bronisław Kłobucki (1896-1944).
Thanks to sponsoring efforts (Ewa Taterczynska Foundation and Bydgoszcz Pomeranian Gas Company), the decorative courtyard has been restored to its original shape and location.
Made of artificial stone by Bronisław Kłobucki, author of the allegory figures of the seasons, the plan exposes rivers, valleys, hills, waters, railways, selected roads and buildings.
On July 22 of this year, then the official holiday in the Polish People's Republic, Horno-Popławski opened in the garden permanent outdoor exhibition of his compositions, which he donated to the city.
Called Stone Stream (Polish: Potok Kamienny), the collection included the following works: "Partisan", "Memories of Bagrati", "Morena", "Copernicus", "Tadeusz Breyer", "Tehura", "Gruzinka", "Waiting", "Szota Rustawelli", "Colchida" , "Żal", "Pogodna", "Beethoven" and "Hair".
