What a huge disappointment! The gardens around the palaces and parks are better kept than the botanical gardens which should be a city's showcase. They are closed on a Monday and one would think this would be when they now the 'lawns' or weeds but no, they do do it when you are trying to enjoy a tranquil stroll. The gardens are poorly maintained with very little colour only two areas had flower beds with some colour. The roses need to be dead headed could not fit the peonies. The little river is in a dreadful state. There are two ticket offices and despite this it still took ages to process the people in the queue.

Have to pay for pretty much everything. Some places are only accessible with groups. Overall, not impressed. The tropical section is quite good though, but you have to pay a fee as well.

Nice place to see. Only be aware the entries are on time with a guide. So in the glasshouses you will walk with a Russian speaking guide :) I don’t know if they have English guides. Though place it safe is just great if you are a fan of plants! I visited the garden in winter, but the outside park is supposed to be magnificent in spring and summer.

During winter holidays I saw an Internet advert for the exhibition of orchids. We decided to go. Unfortunately, they didn't give the information about the booking offices in Professor Popov Street for the winter time. So we had to walk there along the icy street. I think the tickets were a bit too expensive for this exhibition. I paid 400 and my mom as a pensioner paid 300. The orchids were absolutely lovely, but it's a pity that only some of the employees told us stories about them. So, I was amazed by the fact that one of the plants was presented by the Princess of Thailand.
