About the place

The garden belongs to the Academy of Sciences and was founded in the mid-20th century. Its plantings are grouped by region, so you walk from Central Asian species to East Asian, North American and European trees and shrubs.

It is one of the greenest and calmest places in Tashkent, used by locals for walks and photo shoots. In April the fruit trees, magnolias and lilacs flower; in autumn the maples and plane trees turn colour.

The Japanese Garden is nearby, and the two can be combined in one outing.
