The National Botanical Garden of Georgia in Tbilisi has temporarily closed to visitors.

The administration said it made this decision for safety reasons. A recent heavy snowfall caused one of the most serious incidents in the long history of the garden. Officials described the damage as large-scale and unprecedented. The situation required full mobilization of all services and emergency response measures.
Teams are now clearing damaged areas throughout the garden. Specialists are also working on site to save affected plants. According to Tbilisi City Hall, the snowfall damaged rare and valuable species, creating a serious threat to the garden’s ecosystem.
Visitors should check official updates before planning a trip, as reopening dates will depend on restoration progress and safety assessments.
