State scientific institution "Central Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus" is one of the oldest botanical institutions in Belarus. The Central Botanical Garden (CBS) was organized in 1932 by the decision of the Council of People's Commissars of the BSSR. In 1999, by the decision of the Government of the Republic of Belarus, it was given the status of a scientific object, which is a national asset. TBS has been declared a botanical natural monument of republican importance and historical and cultural value. Today, it is a unique natural object of garden and park art, which combines the functions of a capital landmark and an important cultural and educational, ecological, educational and educational center.

CBS is the country's largest center for the preservation of biodiversity of living plants, a leading scientific institution in the field of introduction, acclimatization, physiology, biochemistry, biotechnology and ecology of plants, environmental protection. It is one of the largest botanical gardens in Europe both in terms of area (93 ha) and the composition of plant collections (more than 15,000 species).

The main areas of scientific activity of the Central Botanical Garden:

  • effective use, restoration and protection of plant resources;
  • identification of physiological and biochemical regularities and mechanisms of formation of resistance and productivity of plants;
  • creation of scientific foundations of introduction, protection, selection and management of processes of acclimatization and biological productivity of economically useful plants on the basis of traditional and modern methods of biotechnology and genetic engineering;
  • biological monitoring, ecology;
  • industrial botany;
  • green construction and phytodesign;
  • use of plant resources in industry, agriculture, medicine;
  • solving problems of biosafety of biological methods and technologies.

The scientific team of the botanical garden develops the theoretical foundations and methods of using the world's plant resources for the needs of the national economy and culture of Belarus. Developments make a significant contribution to solving practical issues of green construction, non-traditional fruit growing, medicinal plant growing, and environmental protection.
