Wedding in the botanical garden in Tbilisi

Tucked away on the slopes of the Sololaki Ridge lies one of Tbilisi’s most scenic yet underrated locations – the Tbilisi Botanical Garden. Officially established in 1845, the garden holds centuries of history within its grounds. Nestled in the Tsavkisistskali River gorge, it spans an impressive 128 hectares where nature, history, and serenity intertwine in perfect harmony.

Once a royal garden, it dates back to the 18th century when local rulers forbade the felling of fig groves. Later, medicinal plants were cultivated here, and by 1892, it had evolved into a full-fledged botanical garden. Since then, its collection has grown steadily, and today it boasts around 3,500 species of trees, shrubs, and flowers from around the world.

Everything about this place is steeped in tranquility and lush greenery: streams and waterfalls, shaded walkways, footbridges, and secluded nooks perfect for rest and reflection. A 19th-century French greenhouse still stands proudly here, alongside an ancient stone bridge that once formed part of the historic road from Iran to Mtskheta. Mornings are especially magical – cool, fragrant, and filled with birdsong. Even at midday, the garden remains refreshingly cool, with the trees and water features creating a natural oasis right in the heart of the city.

The garden is full of surprises – from wild waterfalls to a sealed tunnel carved between 1909 and 1914, from children’s play areas to hidden gazebos overlooking the canyon. It’s this natural, multi-layered landscape that makes the Botanical Garden truly versatile: equally suited for long walks, romantic escapes, and, of course, unforgettable weddings.
