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 individual visitors or groups, in the recent years there were about 50,000 visitors and groups per year. 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 the Radio-Television Slovenia (RTV Slovenia). In order to keep the memories about the life in the old days in Ljubljana alive, the project My Streets [Moje ulice] was launched and for a period of time also aired on the Radio Študent (RŠ). talks with the charismatic senior citizens from the public life about their life in the city reflected the changes with the urban legeneds, which connect different generations.
The Botanical Garden is a member of the international network Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) and cooperates with several gardens from abroad. The Garden was also presented in the monography Botanic Gardens: A Living History, a guide to the botanic gardens published and edited by Nadine Monem.
