But there are still some figures and facts that require thorough study. Therefore the study aims at examining of the background and history of foundation and also describing the features of operation of the Botanical Garden of Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University. The authors' purpose was also to study the figure of Professor T.F.

The study has got certain results.

The basic elements of uniqueness object are described; difficulties in his work are clarified and the ways of their solution are presented. These difficulties are considered to be as follows. First of all, the absence in the staff of scientific employers makes it impossible to fully organize the conduct of research work. Secondly, the use of grown medicinal plants in the botanical garden and harvesting of medicinal plants in the experiments prevents the use of herbicides and crop protection chemicals. Thirdly, complete absence of mechanized equipment requires significant manual labour and reduces the efficiency of working time. Thus, the authors have concluded that despite the certain difficulties in the work the staff of the Botanical Garden, we should continue the work of T.F.

In comparing with the initial objectives that were treated to the "garden of medicinal plants" modern tasks enable an introduction of new medicinal species and develop agricultural techniques of cultivation.
