The foundation of the Sea Garden is laid with the first general plan of
Burgas in 1891. 72,000 sq. m of land with desolated vineyards were transformed
into a beautiful public garden.
The
Sea Garden acquired its modern look during 1910. At this time in Bur-gas,
Mr. George Duhtev, who graduated with honours in Gardening in Austria,
started work on the design and landscaping of the park.
By
1912 the garden was already fenced. Along the path-ways appeared flower
beds and the main areas were planted with cultivated shrubs and park trees.
In
1924 the Sea Garden is fully completed. Afforestation material introduced
from Hungary, Istanbul, Italy, France, Syria and Lebanon, contributes
for the botanical wealth of the park.
