Springtime is the most beautiful season at the Botanical Garden, especially when Magnolias blossom and fulfill the air with their fragrant scent.

The Botanical Garden of the University of Latvia holds the largest collection of Magnolias in Latvia with 16 different species and varieties. Some of the trees have reached a spectacular size, since they have been planted before 50 years. In Latvia only the frost-resistant species and varieties can survive, so the diversity is limited, still the introduction that was started in 1956 is continued till nowadays.
