The Jibou Botanical Garden was founded in 1968 on the initiative of Professor Vasile Fati, after whom it is named (Grădina Botanică "Vasile Fati"). It is located on the site of the former English-style park of the Baroque Wesselényi family palace. The botanical garden covers approximately 24 hectares. Professor Fati taught biology at the Jibou Gymnasium, which was then housed as a boarding school in the medieval former Wesselényi family residence. He recognized the potential of the site and worked tirelessly to realize his idea.
The botanical greenhouses, whose futuristic spherical architecture is remarkable, now house diverse and valuable collections of tropical, subtropical, and Mediterranean plants, grouped systematically or ecologically. The garden also features a high pavilion for the palm collection and an aquarium for tropical plant collections, a cultivated plant section, a vast ornamental plant section, herbaria, and museum exhibits.
