One of Tbilisi’s favourite natural parks will soon boast a piece of legendary Japanese landscape design as a novelty for visitors that will also aim to highlight the friendly relations between Georgia and Japan.
A new Japanese corner will be created in the National Botanical Garden of Georgia. The central Tbilisi green area is an idyllic spot of diverse flora that offers a quiet and relaxing atmosphere next to the city’s central area.
Botanical Garden staff announced the news today following a meeting between director Nino Gotsadze, Tbilisi City Hall’s Municipal Department of Ecology and Planting representative Nato Kirvalidze and a delegation from Japanese landscape experts Kosugi led by Andreas Hamacher.
The sides reviewed details for the project and agreed on a schedule to carry out the technical work required for building the garden corner in the park.
