The Yerevan Botanical Garden was founded in 1935, in a semi-desert area of 80 hectares, almost devoid of trees, at an altitude of 1200-1250 meters.
The Botanical Garden is an institution of scientific, environmental, educational and recreational importance, the main purpose of which is the introduction of highly decorative and economically valuable plant species from different phytogeographical regions of the planet, the creation of demonstrative scientific living collections, the studies of their behavior in new ecological conditions and application of the most adapted species for the greening of cities and settlements.
One of the most important and priority tasks of botanical gardens is the ex-situ conservation of rare and endangered representatives of the Armenian flora. Eco-educational activities and raising of public awareness about the rich biodiversity of our country is one of the priority tasks of the Yerevan Botanical Garden.

The creation of the educational trails and signage were co-financed by the H. Hovnanian Family Foundation and HIKEArmenia NGO.
