The garden contains over 1000 species of various plants, each plant has a plate with a description in several languages. Every year, the botanical garden attracts about 70,000 visitors to its five greenhouses, both local residents and visitors to the city.

The botanical garden contains many plants from different climatic regions of the earth. In a subtropical greenhouse grow oaks (cork, stone), rosemary, cistus, laurel. In tropical greenhouses, where humidity is maintained at 80-100%, vines, ginger (various types), pumpkins, cardamom, vanilla, chilean pepper, sago palms and many other plants are grown.
