Zugdidi Botanical Garden

A historic botanical garden in the western Georgian town of Zugdidi, laid out in the 19th century in the grounds of the Dadiani princely residence. It was planted with exotic species gathered from around the world, including magnolias, palms and rare conifers, reflecting the horticultural interests of the ruling family. Mature trees now shade winding paths through the grounds beside the palace. The garden offers a peaceful green setting linked to the cultural heritage of the Mingrelian nobility and complements a visit to the adjacent museum.
