The Central Siberian Botanical Garden of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences is a scientific institution in Novosibirsk devoted to studying and preserving plant diversity, particularly across Siberia. Founded in 1946 on the initiative of academician Vladimir Komarov, it has grown into a major regional centre for botanical research. Its work includes scientific studies, international collaboration, conferences, and educational activities, supported by research departments, a botanical museum, library, and specialist facilities.

The garden maintains collections of living plants in both open-air and greenhouse settings, as well as a herbarium of vascular plants, lichens, and fungi. These collections support research, conservation, and public learning. Visitors can explore garden displays and greenhouses, join guided tours and themed activities, and attend events and workshops. The institution also operates a flower shop and offers plants and seedlings for sale at selected times. Through its research, collections, public programs, and visitor experiences, the garden connects scientific knowledge with an accessible introduction to the plant world.
