Last weekend I visited my best friend in Tartu. I had been several times during this year there and we had planned to visit one place, but every time we wanted to go to The Botanical Garden, when weather was against us s well time. Finally last weekend we had opportunity to visit the place and I must say, it was very beautiful. I really liked it. I could not remember much, since last time I visited that place I was small and was still going on primary school. I was happy to visit that place again, since it was very beautiful, at least that is my opinion. I will also add pictures about the place. That visit made me to wish to have self a garden and see how beautiful flowers there can be put to grow.
Here I will also add some information about The Botanical Garden:
The Botanical Garden of the University of Tartu was founded in 1803, near what is now the Vanemuine Old Theatre House. In 1806 the garden was relocated to more suitable site, on the ruins of the ancient city wall and fortifications near the river and ponds. The first director of the garden was Prof. Gottfried Albrecht Germann and the first chief gardener in duty was Johann Anton Weinmann. The first master plan of the Garden was made by Weinmann and it serves till nowadays. In 1811 Prof. Carl Friedrich Ledebour was nominated the director. Under his active leadership, the collections of the Garden were enriched by many new species, collected from Siberia and other unexplored regions of the Russian Empire, and firstly described by Ledebour. Most of them reached Western Europe via our Garden. Many other famous botanists as Trautvetter, Maximovicz, Bunge, Russow, Kuznetsov, Lippmaa have contributed to the development of this marvelous Garden. The Garden contains several monuments gratefully reviving the memory of our forerunners contribution.
