The collection of trees in botanical gardens tends to be extensive and there are often no support activities for its use for education and upbringing of children as well as adults. Such activities are, for example, more detailed labeling of trees with QR code links to websites, various nature trails with interactive habitats, supported by sports-type relaxation activities (various tools for exercise, etc.). These can bring the development of knowledge of dendroflora of both Central Europe and the world and promoting the active use of leisure time for families, as well as more intensive educational activities for schools. The project assumes cooperation in the preparation of various activities towards the popularization of knowledge about tree species in two cooperating institutions, in the Botanical Garden of UPJŠ in Košice in Slovakia and in the Botanical Garden in Nyiregyhazi. The Nyiregyhaz Botanical Garden has an older relaxation and educational center at its disposal, which would be revitalized during the project and the construction of a new dendrological educational trail with relaxation activities would be realized in Košice. During the working meetings of the staff of both institutions, the system of marking trees in both botanical gardens in both languages will be completed and implemented and information on the importance of trees in the time of climate change will be added. The use of modernized and new facilities in both botanical gardens will encourage visitors to find common and different elements in the flora of Slovakia and Hungary in comparison with the world and will promote mutual awareness of tourism opportunities in the regions.
