On October 4, 2012, Ukrposhta was pleased to welcome stamp connoisseurs with the introduction of a new postal block called "Nikita Botanical Garden - National Science Center. 200 years". This block includes four stamps: Gazebo, Administration Building, Parterre, and Echinocereus Eng.

The main idea of ​​this postal block is to glorify the oldest scientific research institution of Ukraine, which is dedicated to the issues of fruit growing and botany - the Nikita Botanical Garden, which was founded in 1812. This garden has worldwide popularity thanks to its unique arboretum, which has become a real business card of botanical science of Ukraine for millions of domestic and foreign botanists. The garden is located on the southern coast of Crimea between the village of Nikita and the Black Sea.

For collectors and lovers of philately, this postal block is a particularly valuable specimen, because it is dedicated to the unique Crimean Botanical Garden, which is located on the territory that is currently under occupation. But we believe that Crimea will soon return under the Ukrainian flag, and the demand for everything Crimean, including this block of stamps, will grow.

These stamps are not only a unique philatelic monument, but also a symbol of hope for a bright future, when Crimea will again become part of Ukraine, and its cultural and natural treasures will once again be available to the whole world. Let these stamps remind us of our historical roots and unity, and let them become the object of desire of all collectors who want to preserve and glorify our Ukrainian heritage. Enjoy these wonderful stamps and keep them as a symbol of the future of the united Crimea and all of Ukraine.
