This is one of many figurative sculptures found across the 14 hectares of the Botanical Gardens in Cluj, a scientific garden for recreation and education. These pieces range from famous Romanian botanists who founded and researched within the grounds of the gardens, famed Roman deities of fertility and the harvest, and depictions of younger botanists studying scenes. The Cluj-Napoca Botanical Garden is located in the south part of Cluj-Napoca, Romania. It was founded in 1872 by Samuel Brassai. Its director in 1905 was Aladár Richter, then Páter Béla, Győrffy István, and then overtaken in 1920 by the local university, and by Alexandru Borza. The garden is a scientific, didactic, and educational institution, subordinate to the Babes-Bolyai University. This prestigious institution was founded by professor Alexandru Borza in 1920. Covering a 14-hectare land of various geological configurations, suitable for growing and developing plants from various continents, 10,000 specific plant categories are being cultivated here. The Botanical Garden is divided into several sections: ornamental, phytogeographic, systematic, economic, and medicinal.
