Dendrological Garden in Glinna

The Dendrological Garden in Glinna is known in Poland for being a home for several of the largest specimens of trees of foreign origin.

It is located on the south-eastern outskirts of the Bukowe Hills, on the border between the Wełtyńska and Pyrzycko-Stargardzka Plains. Surrounding moraine hills covered with high beech forest alleviate the negative effects of cold winds from the east, north and west. Its northern part is crossed by a small, periodically disappearing stream called Gliniec.

The exceptionally favourable microclimate that occurs here, combined with the Atlantic climate of West Pomerania, create conditions in which it is possible to grow many frost-sensitive trees and shrubs, which are not resistant to the climate of central and eastern Poland.

To date, the arboretum has been developed to host over 800 varieties of trees and shrubs. The oldest tree in the garden area is the shagbark hickory, which is about 180 years old.

The garden is open to the public from mid-March to the end of October, and organized groups can use the services of a guide.
