Mission and programme
The original gardens were established and designed by Franc Hladnik, who was the first superintendent. Now they are considered one of the oldest cultural, educational and scientific institution in Slovenia. The aim of the institution is to present, preserve and research individual plants and plant systems, from native to tropical habitats.
In recent years there there have been about 50,000 visitors and groups annually. Tours conducted by expert guides are available for individual visitors or groups. Especially during spring and summer months different workshops and public lectures are organised. The venue is also known for hosting a TV gardening show on the morning programme of Radio-Television Slovenia (RTV Slovenia). In order to preserve the memories of life in old-day Ljubljana, the project My Streets [Moje ulice] was launched, and for a period of time also aired on Radio Študent (RŠ). Interviews with charismatic senior citizens about their life in the city reflect the changes, and, through stories and urban legends, form a link between different generations of citizens.
International cooperation
The Botanic Gardens is a member of the international network Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) and cooperates with several botanical gardens from abroad. The Garden was also presented in the book Botanic Gardens: A Living History, a guide to the botanic gardens published and edited by Nadine Monem (2007).
