Basic information
The Botanical Garden of the Faculty of Science of Palacký University in Olomouc is situated near the historical centre of Olomouc, in Smetana Gardens, directly adjacent to the collection greenhouses of the Flora Olomouc Exhibition Centre. It is located in the protection zone of the city conservation area, on the street aptly named “U Botanické zahrady”.
The collections represent the flora of the Olomouc region, the Czech Republic and Central Europe, as well as plants of other continents, especially Asia and America. The charm of the individual parts of the garden is enhanced by interesting specimens of trees that are no longer used in contemporary plantings and thus become cultivation rarities.
The Botanical Garden is open to the public from April to October, daily, except Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. In addition, it is also open on the first weekend of every month and occasionally at other times during the season.
Visits outside these hours can be arranged by email or phone. Mass excursions should be announced in advance – expert interpretation can be provided on request.
