The Academy of Sciences Botanical Institute in Chișinău holds one of the region's most valuable plant collections. The Botanical Garden serves simultaneously as a scientific research centre, an educational space for schools, and a recreation destination for the general public.
The collections include native species from Moldova's flora — from steppe to forest — alongside exotic plants from tropical and subtropical greenhouses. Visitors can follow themed routes and learn about conserving rare species.
Seasonal events — flower exhibitions, open days for families — draw thousands of visitors. The Botanical Garden plays an important role in raising awareness of plant biodiversity for local ecosystems.
For Chișinău residents, the garden is an oasis of calm at the edge of urban bustle — a place where nature is catalogued, protected, and made available to everyone.
