The Kutaisi Botanical Garden, also known as the Kolkhuri Botanical Garden, is a peaceful oasis in the heart of the city. Established in the 19th century, it spans several hectares along the Rioni River, showcasing a rich collection of native and exotic plants. The garden is divided into thematic sections, including a rose garden, a conifer collection, and a greenhouse with tropical species. Winding paths lead past ponds, streams, and shaded benches, making it a perfect escape from the urban bustle. The garden also offers views of the Bagrati Cathedral perched on a hill above. It's a popular spot for families, joggers, and anyone seeking tranquility. The air is fragrant with flowers, and birdlife is abundant.
