Teave

Kiired faktid: See botaanikaaed asub 7,5 hektaril Vilniuse äärelinnas ja hoiab üle 10 000 taime liigi üle kogu maailma. Selle arboreetumis asub Leedu suurim rododendronite kollektsioon, mis puhkeb igal kevadel lilla ja roosa õite mässuks.

Esiletõstmised: Sügaval aia arboreetumis seisab iidne tammepuu, mis on üle 200 aasta vanune, eelades botaanikaaeda ennast aastakümnete võrra. Kohalik legend räägib, et selle koore puudutamine suvisel pööripäeval toob õnne, ja tihti võib selle jalamilt leida väikseid ohvriande nagu lilli või münte, mille külastajad on jätnud.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

Bring a picnic and claim one of the wooden benches near the pond, easily the best lunch spot on the grounds.
Skip the main paths and explore the quieter sections near the back of the arboretum where the oldest trees stand.
Visit after a light rain when the scents from the herb garden are strongest and the flower colors appear more saturated.
Wear comfortable walking shoes, the gravel paths stretch farther than they look and you'll want to explore every corner.
