Cluj-Napoca Botanical Garden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cluj-Napoca Botanical Garden (officially the Botanical Garden of the Univeristatea Babeş-Bolyai) in Cluj-Napoca, Romania was founded in 1920 by Professor Alexandru Boza.
The garden is over 14 hectares in area, with over 10,000 plants from throughout the world. It is divided in to ornamental, phytogeographic (geobotanical), systematic (taxonomical), economic, and medicinal sections. Romanian flora and vegetation are represented by plants from the Transylvanian plains, the Carpathian Mountains, Banat, etc.
Among the Botanical Garden's interesting attractions are the Japanese Garden (a garden in Japanese style, with a brook and a Japanese-style house), the Roman Garden with archeological remains from the Roman colony of Napoca, among them a statue of Ceres, goddess of cereals and bread, alongside cultivated plants that dominate contemporary Romanian agriculture.
