a Greenhouse in Botanical Garden of Vilnius University (Lithuanian: Vilniaus universiteto botanikos sodas) Slightly run down, and under reconstruction at the moment. let's hope the new version will be as cool as this abandoned version. The garden was established by professor Jean-Emmanuel Gilibert of Vilnius University in 1781. In 1832 the Vilnius University and Botanical Garden were closed. In 1919, the Botanical Garden of the Polish Stefan Batory University was started in a new location, in Vingis (known as Zakret at that time).[3] In 1975 territory of the garden was expanded.
