Almost all of the time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Zaporizhzhia Botanical Garden has been closed to visitors. It was only this spring that they started offering tours for small groups by appointment. However, as reported on the botanical garden's official Facebook page, on September 1, the institution reopened its doors to visitors, and now you can come not only for a tour, but also to walk around the botanical garden at your own pace and enjoy the beauty of the plants. This was confirmed by Tamara Yeremina, director of the Zaporizhzhia City Botanical Garden Children's Park, in a commentary for zprz.city.

We told you which botanical gardens of Ukraine are worth visiting this fall in our previous article.
