The Sevan Division of the Yerevan Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia was founded in 1944 in the northeastern part of Sevan city, on a land area lacking natural dendroflora, covering 6.5 hectares. The Sevan Botanical Garden is one of the highest-altitude unique gardens in the world, ranging from 1920 to 2000 meters above sea level. Over its more than 80 years of operation, plant species with high cold resistance have been collected, playing a significant role in the greening of the Sevan Lake basin habitats.
Here, you can find both species characteristic of the Sevan basin and others brought from different regions. The collections in the botanical garden are distributed into four main sections: tree alleys (of ash and maple, oak and pine, larch, and hornbeam) and expositional plots of land.
