Brief historical background, collections and exhibitions of the museum
Geographical position:
The arboretum is located in the southern part of Barnaul on the territory of the M.A. Lisavenko Research Institute of Horticulture for Siberia. It is surrounded on three sides by a ribbon forest and on the east it opens to the high bank of the Ob River. The absolute altitudes within the park range from 190 to 212 m above sea level. The plantation area is 10.5 hectares. The location of the arboretum provides good air drainage and also mitigates autumn and spring frosts. The rugged terrain with its hollows and hills allows for the cultivation of plants from different natural and climatic zones.
History:
The founders of the arboretum are the scientist-horticulturist and breeder M.A. Lisavenko and Doctor of Agricultural Sciences Z.I. Luchnik. The first tree specimens were planted in the late 1930s in the territory of the Altai Mountains. In 1953, some of them were brought to Barnaul to form the arboretum.
Over the years, a large number of plants have been tested here, both from the local flora and from other floristic regions – Europe, North America, and Asia. By 1998, the arboretum's collection included more than 1,100 botanical species, hybrids, and varieties of trees and shrubs.
Arboretum Departments:
The Barnaul Arboretum is formed on an ecological-geographical principle and is divided into departments, each containing plants from a specific region:
- Department of hybrids, forms, and varieties;
- Flower garden;
- Far East Department;
- Central Asia and Kazakhstan Department;
- Department of the central zone of European Russia;
- Eastern Siberia Department;
- Western Siberia Department;
- North America Department;
