For 60 years, local authorities tried to create an arboretum in the city, but each time the attempts ended in failure. And when at last it was launched into work, the green island among the stone jungle turned out to be useful both from the point of view of a simple visitor and for science.
A look into the past

The practical use of the object
Since about 2005 the botanical garden (Volgograd)is a platform for the functioning of plant biotechnology. The main direction of this activity is the search for new varieties and methods of their reproduction, as well as the study of the genome.
Already in 2009, a genetic bank was createdseeds. To date, it contains 978 samples of 476 plant species. This number includes 262 rare and protected species. Of these, 115 are currently listed in the Red Book. It is noteworthy that initially scientists worked with the seeds of those plants that grow in the region. Their improvement, improvement of properties - all this gave excellent results. Already later, a series of samples was obtained by exchange with other arboreta.
