description
On a city map from 1936, a park with paths that roughly correspond to the avenues of today is drawn in at the place where the Botanical Garden is today. The first draft for the design of the Timișoara Botanical Garden was made by the architect Silvia Grumeza in 1966. Between 1986 and 1990, 1650 plant species were planted in the park from a phytogeographic and aesthetic point of view. In 1995 the park was placed under nature protection for the first time for scientific purposes with the aim of protecting the local but also the exotic flora of the park. The Botanical Garden is the largest park in the city and, with around 60,000 visitors annually, has the highest number of visitors of all city parks.
The botanical garden has an area of around 84,000 square meters, of which 74,500 are planted or serve as green areas and 7,500 square meters are laid out as avenues. The plants come from the city's own tree nursery, from the botanical gardens in Bucharest and Craiova , from the Bazoș Dendrological Park , from private cultivations, from cultivations of the Agronomy Faculty of the Agricultural and Veterinary University of the Banat , the forest school "Colegiul Silvic Casa Verde" the Semenic-Cheile Carașului National Park , from the Retezat Mountains and from abroad.
In summer, cultural events such as concerts and readings take place in the Botanical Garden.
