The purpose of this paper is to analyse plant material grown in the park Brdo pri Kranju. The resarch is based on the analysis of archive's material, deals with Karel Zois botanical's activity. The first botanical garden in Slovenia was established in 1871 at Brdo pri Kranju by Karel Zois who cultivated not only indigenous plants, gathered on his botanical walks but also foreign trees and shrubs. He introduced a number of maples (such as Acer creticum, A. negundo, A. pensylvanicum, A. saccharinum), catalpa (Catalpa bignoniodes), hackberry (Celtis australis) and many other species. The plants were imported from England, Italy, Austria and the Netherlands and arranged in manageable plant patterns, based on the soil fertility and with no particular design intentions. Their role was strictly scientific.
