Botanical Garden of Maria Curie-Skłodowska University

The Maria Curie-Skłodowska University Botanical Garden, located in the Polish city of Lublin, has been established since 1944. It was then that the university professor Joseph Motyka formed the committee responsible for creating the garden, and in 1958 the committee took ownership of a 13-hectare plot of land in the Chekhuvka River valley. The place was chosen not by chance, because its landscapes just met the requirements of the Committee. A diverse landscape, including forests, ravines, with excellent soil and climatic features, was suitable for growing various plants.

The Botanical Garden of the University of Maria Curie-Skłodowska was opened on February 23, 1965. By 1970, the territory of the garden was fenced, equipped with everything necessary: water tanks, greenhouses and outbuildings. After 1970, the head of the garden, Professor Kazimir Kozak, expanded it to 25 hectares, with garden paths paved.

Currently, in the garden you can see thematic sections of tropical and subtropical flora, stone garden, plants of North America, Europe and Asia, numbering more than six thousand species. University employees use the garden for research and training, and locals and tourists like to spend their free time here, walking along the alleys and admiring the local scenery.
