The Botanical Garden of Jibou


The Jibou Botanical Garden, now named after its founder, Vasile Fati, is a botanical garden located in Jibou, Romania.

The works for the organization of the Botanical Garden from Jibou started between the years 1959-1968, when Vasile Fati (1932-2007), a biology teacher, with the students and with the other teachers manages to prove that the parks around Wesselényi Castle, where the high school was functioning is appropriate for a botanical garden.

Between the years 1968-1970 the first greenhouse of 110 square meters was built. Between the years 1978-1982, the two greenhouses were built, the aquarium and the volar. (source: Wikipedia)

It is really close to the Dragons Garden, so if you are planning to visit any of the places try going to both places, it can be done in a one full day.

Hi @ady_seres ,

Jibou Botanical Garden looks amazing! I am sure that the people who are interested in botany, will be impressed by it. The history that you provided about the garden is also very interesting.

Do you live close by? Do you love to explore botanical gardens?

@PoliMC Let’s say it is a place with tradition and history, just celebrated its 52nd year anniversary, one of the oldest botanical garden in Romania.

It is very close to my home town hence why I visit it often with my family, but other than that it is still worth visiting.

Hi @ady_seres ,

Thanks for your reply!

That sounds great! As I can see the years that you mentioned above, it’s really old. It’s fantastic that such places are reserved.
