The Botanic Garden of P. J. \u0160af\u00e1rik University in Ko\u0161ice greenhouses were built in 1958 and cover an area of 3,500 square metres. They consist of a complex of exhibition and cultivation greenhouses which provide visitors with an opportunity to see many species of plants from tropical and subtropical regions of the world. In the years 2014 – 2016, the three largest greenhouses underwent extensive reconstruction of the cladding and heating, which was followed up with the gradual reconstruction of other greenhouses and exhibitions in them. There are a number of subtropical and tropical, ornamental and useful woods, herbs, and ferns in our collections. Collections of cacti and other succulents, orchids and bromeliads are the most species-rich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
