BALKAN BOTANIC GARDEN OF KROUSSIA

The Balkan Botanic Garden of Kroussia (BBGK), Greece was funded in the framework of the Inter-Regional Developmental Initiatives of the European Union (INTERREG II-External Borders). The BBGK was founded on 19 May 2001 as an initiative of the National Agricultural Research Foundation (NAGREF ). It is member of the Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) and National Network of Greek Botanic Gardens. BBGK is owned by ELGO-DIMITRA. The research and services of BBGK are supported by the Laboratory of Protection and Exploitation of Native and Floricultural Plants located at Thermi of Thessaloniki. Aiming first to promote to urban citizens environmental awareness issues regarding native plant conservation and second in order to facilitate the maintenance of the increasing mother plantations, the BBGK has recently established the Garden of Environmental Awareness (GEA) in Thermi at sea level.
