One of the most important fundamental tasks of the Botanical garden is forming a collection of rare and disappearing plants. The collection of Lithuanian rare and disappearing plants was established in the Botanical Garden of Siauliai University. In 1999-2003 there was a collection presenting more than 160 species of plants. In conformity with the newest classification the species of extinct 0(Ex) are represented by 2 species: Rubus arcticus L. The first category (E) - 14, the second (V) - 24, the third (R) - 19, fourth (I) - 1 and 5 (Rs) - 5 species. All plants are growing by seeds or by seedlings. The majority of plants are successfully propagated by seeds and vegetative. Lectures and other training activities take place at the Botanical garden for Siauliai University students. Students collect material for their bachelor's thesis at Botanical Gardens too. We suggest the following spheres of activities for the students at the Botanical Garden of Siauliai University: 1) field trip; 2) collecting material for subject reports; 3) individual activity; 4) participating in projects and scientific themes at the Botanic Garden. Practical activity expands knowledge of natural sciences.
