Ivanishvili to renovate Tbilisi botanical garden

Tbilisi National Botanical Garden will soon offer visitors new adventure routes, cycling and hiking trails and renovations in the Tsavkisistskali River gorge.

Tbilisi City Hall announced the Tsavkisistskali River gorge development project, which will be completely financed by the Cartu Charity Foundation - a charity fund established and financed by Georgian tycoon and former Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili.

"Thanks to the project, the botanical gardens will have an alternate entrance where parking will be arranged. Also, amateur cyclists will be able to ride four kilometers in the beautiful gorge, in the city centre,” Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze said.
