Zugdidi Botanical Garden was established in the 19th century by Ekaterine Chavchavadze as a decorative space for the prince"s residence, located near the Dadiani Palace in Zugdidi, Samegrelo. The garden is home to around eighty different species of trees, shrubs, and plants, featuring six types of magnolia, various oak species, Atlas and Himalayan cedar, Canary poplar, and a range of relict and endemic plants brought in from regions like Asia, including India, Japan, the Mediterranean, and the Americas. The garden took on its decorative charm when the last prince of Samegrelo, Davit Dadiani, began its enhancement. Today, the Zugdidi Botanical Garden serves as an excellent site for the introduction, research, and acclimatization of valuable subtropical plants, thanks to its favorable location and climate.
