History of the Botanical Garden
For many years now, the Kirov Botanical Garden has been located at this place. It has existed for over a hundred years. In 1912, a retired colonel acquired a large plot of land, where a private botanical garden was created.
In the same year, spruce and fir trees were planted, which were brought from places located near Kirov. All trees were transported and planted in strict compliance with all agricultural standards.
During the revolution, the garden was transferred to state support, since 1917 it became open to the public. In 1923, the administration of the botanical garden was given to the Vyatka Pedagogical University, which still manages it.
