Greenhouses to visit in Russia

The Verrière atlas lists 4 greenhouses in Russia, built between 1891 and 2012.

Russia's greenhouses hold some of Europe's oldest living collections: Moscow's Aptekarsky Ogorod and St Petersburg's Peter the Great Botanical Garden descend from apothecary gardens founded under Peter the Great. The Soviet era added large scientific complexes such as Novosibirsk's.
