A few miles south of Maribor city, on the shores of the historical Pannonian sea, lays an agricultural estate with a long and interesting history. An over one hundred year old lime alley leads to the Hompo\u0161 castle, the main feature of the estate. Over the 1000 years of the castle’s history, many owners were in charge of the property. The technological peak of the estate was achieved during the time of its last owner \u2013 the Pacher Theinburg family. At the begining of the 20th century, the esate was famous far and wide for its modern technology and was a center for the education of agricultural engineers. After the second World War, the estate Pohorski dvor and Meranovo estate were joined under the same leadership. Meranovo estate has its own long and interesting history, which began in 1823, when the Archeduke Johann of Habsburg, grandson of the famous monarch Maria Teresia, planted the first vineyards on the steep sunny slopes of the Pohorje mount. Besides high quality wines, produced from grapes of the steep vinyards, Meranovo estate was also known as the first School of viticulture in the region. The joined estates are currently managed by the Faculty for Agriculture and Life Sciences, with its seat in the Hompo\u0161 castle. At the take-over of the property’s ownership in 1994, the dean of the faculty admired the rich natural and cultural heritage of the neighbouring esate. The decidion was made to include the neighbouring estate to the Faculty and so the construction of the Botanical Garden began.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

 University of Maribor Botanical Garden was opened to the public in 2002. Today it plays an important role in plant diversity conservation and holds an important share of the state’s gene bank of edible and useful plants. It binds together the history and present of the estate Pohorski dvor, it serves as a research and education institution, and at the same time, provides a relaxing ambient and meeting place for its visitors. Together with its rich archeological, natural and cultural heritage, including ornamental and rare plant collections, it represents an important tourist attraction of the city of Maribor. In spring, visitors can admire over 11.000 flowering daffodil bulbs in all shades of yellow, white and orange. Blooming magnolias and rhododendrons are also spectacular to see in the spring. Summer brings out the many colours of roses. The rose collection in the Rosarium holds over 130 different cultivars. Late summer days offer gentle colours of flowers and golden shades of grasses. The vegetable beds and fruit trees offer a bounty of produce, and autumn brings out the magnificent colours of shrubs and trees.<\/span>
