UMCS Botanical Garden
Ogród Botaniczny UMCS
A botanical garden on the rolling terrain west of the city, with about 6,000 plant species, a rock garden, greenhouses, and an 18th-century manor house.
The Botanical Garden of Maria Curie-Skłodowska University covers about 21 hectares on loess terraces and ravines on the western outskirts of Lublin. Its varied terrain includes about 6,000 plant species and varieties. The garden is divided into a rock garden, a Carpathian plant section, a medicinal plant garden, greenhouses, and more, along with an 18th-century wooden manor house called Sebastian Manor. The best time to visit is during the spring and summer flowering season. Admission is inexpensive, and the garden is closed in winter. It is not far from the Lublin Open-Air Village Museum, so the two can be visited on the same day.
