Nikitsky Botanical Garden

Nikitsky Botanical Garden is one of the oldest gardens. It was founded in 1812. It is located in Crimea, close to Yalta. Its collection counts over 50,000 species, sorts and hybrides. It's a pictorial place , which  interesting to visit at  any season.

The most impressive for me, was the cactaceous greenhouse. 

There are a lot of ponds with a stunning aquatic plants.  You can see and feed goldfishes there as well.

It's easy to meet squirrels there. And if you have some nutlets,  it's such a good opportunity to feed them from your hand.
