University of Tartu Botanical Garden

The University of Tartu Botanical Garden was founded in 1803 and has occupied a former bastion on Lai Street, at the northern edge of the old town, since 1806. Its open-air collections are laid out as eleven gardens around a pond, and the greenhouses, including a palm house, hold tropical and desert plants as well as turtles, fish and parrots.
