Description:
The botanical garden of the Faculty of Natural Science and Mathematics at the University in Zagreb was established in 1889 by the botanist Antun Heinz and the gardener-supervisor Viteslav Durchanek, on a space of about 4.7 ha. The main integral part of the garden is an arboretum which consists of free groups of trees and bushes which are ordered by phylogenetic and systematic relationship.
