Klaipeda's botanical garden is located along the Danes River, north of the city center, in an area of great historic importance. It was founded in 1993 and spans approximately 23 acres. Here, domestic and foreign plants of great variety are exhibited in four collections, including those focused on herbs, medical plants, roses, and vines and bulbous plants.
Surrounding the Palanga Amber Museum is a vast botanical park, which was founded on the palace grounds by Count Feliksas Tiskevicius in 1897. The park was designed by the famous French landscape architect and botanist Édouard François André, with assistance from Belgian gardener Buyssen de Coulon. Today it is a beautiful place for leisurely strolls, picnics, and relaxation, as well as concerts and other cultural events.
