Plant Collection
The living plant collection of the teaching and research laboratories of plant biology serves the teaching and research work at the Faculty of Agricultural and Natural Sciences at the Agricultural University of Georgia. The collection supports the study of plant morphology, anatomy, and physiology in the following specialties: agronomy, viticulture, landscape management, horticulture and forestry, and biology, as well as senior projects, master's, and doctoral studies. Since 2012, the renovation and enrichment of the collection began with the financing of the Agricultural University of Georgia and donations from private individuals. In 2019-21, the collection was severely damaged due to various objective reasons, and the number of species was almost halved. The renewal of the collection continued from 2022. As of the census in January 2023, the collection contains more than 100 species of higher flowering and spore plants, most of which originate from tropical and subtropical countries around the world. Much attention is paid to the adaptation of Georgian endemic plants to indoor conditions. Additionally, there is a collection of mosses, in which students actively participate in collecting. Special inquiries are used to identify existing samples. The plants in the collection are very popular among enthusiasts. In 2017 and 2018, exhibitions and sales of plants were organized. Currently, there are several species in the collection available for sale. These include medicinal aloe (more than 50 stems), Dieffenbachia and ferns (more than 5 stems), and some types of cacti.
