Hryshko National Botanical Garden is one of Kyiv's major green spaces, spreading across hills above the Dnipro with collections of lilacs, magnolias, roses and greenhouse plants. Its viewpoints add city panoramas to the botanical appeal.
The garden is especially popular in spring during lilac bloom, but it works in other seasons as a spacious walk away from the central monuments. Check local conditions and opening arrangements before going, as Kyiv travel can be affected by current events.
