Glubokoe. Arboretum garden.

The arboretum Garden is considered the main attraction of Glubokoe's natural wealth.

The arboretum welcomes the guests hospitably and shows them its treasures. This place is a must for local tourist routes and programs, botanical scientists and environmentalists organize their congresses here, and newlyweds come here for photo shoots.

The garden was founded by Viktor Antonovich Lomako, an engineer of forest crops and a great enthusiast in life, in the early 60s of the 20th century. The purpose of the established arboretum is to study the growth and development of technically valuable and decorative tree and shrub species in these conditions, select promising species and forms for introduction into forest crops and green construction, obtain seeds, and create an arboretum collection.

The 8.2-hectare garden area is divided into 12 sections of chestnut, rowan, thuja, spruce and maple alleys, in the borders of which shrubs such as brilliant diatomaceous earth, purple Ural willow, meadowsweet and Biyara, and turf are planted. The compositions are crowned by decorative spherical thuja, pea-bearing cypress, and Cossack juniper planted in the center of each section.

Natural reservoirs located in the lowlands of the arboretum enliven the landscape. A small alpine slide with a cozy little gazebo adds a special charm to the landscape. It is noteworthy that there is no asphalt and concrete here. All the covering is natural from well-groomed lawn grass. Ornamental shrubs are planted at the edges.

A living collection of woody plants is the main advantage of the arboretum. Plants of the same species are planted in biogroups. The number of trees in it is about 5-10, shrubs - 20 pieces. There are also ancient oak trees 200 years old. They remember the events of history that have passed through this piece of land.

The arboretum currently has 550 species of woody plants belonging to 102 genera and 36 families.

In general, this is an amazing place for spiritual relaxation, pleasant walks, and reading. There are very beautiful living paths here: a large number of different trees, interesting shrubs, flowers of different breeds, and there is also a pond with water lilies and lilies.

I definitely recommend you to visit when you are in Glubokoe!
