            The Botanical Garden of our Faculty of Science [ URL "https://bz-uk.cz/en"] is one of the 
            gardens in Europe. In the complex covering 3.5 ha, besides the faculty buildings, there is
            area divided into several greenhouses and outdoor sections. The greenhouses are home to a 

            exhibition from the tropics and dry subtropics (the cacti and succulent collection). Durin
            collection of wet subtropic plants is installed outdoors as well. In addition to the exten
            of succulents, noteworthy are some of our large and old specimens of cycads, camellias or 

            Especially important is our unique specimen of Ginkgo biloba, the Ginkgo biloba cv. Praga,
