Botanical gardens in Poland: Arboretum Forest Educational Center in Rogów near Łódź

The Arboretum Forest Educational Center in Rogów – established in 1923 – is one of Poland’s most enormous (over 50 hectares) botanical gardens, run by the Warsaw University of Life Sciences. The Arboretum in Rogów is one of Europe’s most valuable plant collections. It’s “a forest park” located in the thinned-out forest area. You can admire there the collections of trees and shrubs of Central and Eastern Europe, protected, endangered, and rare plants, as well as “experimental” parts of the forest with foreign species and the Alpine Garden – the aplinarium.

Spring in the Arboretum is ruled by the colors of blooming flowers. Green dominates here in summer. Autumn welcomes with the beauty of the fall colors. The most popular time to visit the Arboretum is the blooming of azaleas and rhododendrons (May and June) and maple leaves in fall foliage colors (September or October, depending on the season). It is worth visiting the Arboretum on a weekday or Saturday; Sunday is usually the most crowded. As usual, the best option is to visit early in the morning.
