An exposition of medicinal and nutritious tropical plants is also arranged in the greenhouses of the Botanical Garden of BAS. Among them there are flowering cocoa, medicinal aloe and many others. During the month of June, when according to the folk calendar we celebrate Midsummer’s Day, many outdoor herbs can also be seen in the garden, such as various types of galium, St. John’s wort, yarrow, chamomile, etc.<\/p>\n

In the coming summer season, visitors to the Botanical Garden can see and smell the fragrance of different types of roses, developing and flowering trees, shrubs and flowers. In the greenhouses one can observe the diverse life forms of succulent plants from the arid regions of the Earth, as well as the fanciful flowers of orchids.<\/p>\n
