The Universtiy Botanic Gardens were founded in 1810 during the ruling of the Illyrian Provinces. In 2010 the garden celebrated its 200th anniversary and today, after two centuries of its continuous existence, the garden is managed by the University of Ljubljana. The gardens with three units spread over the central Ljubljana represent one of the oldest botanic gardens in South-East Europe, with more than 4,500 different native and outlandish plants an the arboretum near Ižanska cesta they offer a relaxing resort for nature lovers, tourists or researchers.


Mission and purposes

The original garden was established and designed by Franc Hladnik, the first head of the Botanic Gardens. Since that time it is considered as one of the oldest cultural, educational and scientific institution in Slovenia. The aim of the institution is to present, preserve and research individual plants and plant systems, from native to tropical habitats.

The guided tours with an expert are offered for visitors, especially during the spring and summer months different workshops and public lectures are being organised. The venue is also known for hosting the gardening TV show of the morning programme of Radio-Television Slovenia (RTV Slovenia). In 2010, the year of the 200th anniversary, the project My Streets [Moje ulice] was launched and aired on the Radio Študent (RŠ).
