The paper provides an overview of the tour guide activities in one of the oldest gardens in Russia - Peter the Great Botanical garden of Komarov Botanical Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences. It is the first time the authors have summarized the experience of working with visitors of the Peter the Great Botanical garden from the end of the 19th century to the present. Much attention is paid to the history of the excursion business in Russia and in the Botanical garden. The incentive to work was the growing interest in Botanical gardens and various forms of the excursion activity that now exist in the Botanical garden of Saint Petersburg. Modern science about excursions broadly describes general basics of conducting excursions, but practical techniques are not presented enough. Therefore, the task of methodological developments for the guides of the Botanical garden becomes relevant. Based on historical experience, the authors describe the rules for preparing for excursions in the Botanical garden, aspects when choosing information for excursions, special training methods, and general recommendations for excursions organization. Specific knowledge about the content of excursions in the Botanical garden will help specialists effectively and competently organize activities for environmental and biological education of both adults and young visitors.

Existed since the late 60-ies of the last century, Laboratory of vegetation of the arid zone V. L. Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1993 was transformed into a Laboratory of vegetation of the steppe zone of geopolitical change led to the fact that the arid lands presents now in our country is mainly steppes. Since then 10 years have passed, it is already possible to draw some conclusions. As a result of human activities, the steppe, like most grassy biomes arid regions of the world, almost completely destroyed, and the remaining vegetation is degraded. In this regard, one of the goals of this Laboratory is to determine (primarily in the European part of the country, subjected to the most heavy anthropogenic load), where fragments of steppes and what is their condition.

Her field routes cover vast areas of the inner part of Eurasian continent: Kazakhstan, Middle Asia, Mongolia, China. The scientific interests of E. I. are manifold — vegetation mapping and subdivision, botanical geography, structure of vegetation cover, ecology, etc. In the process of making maps and monographs describing the vegetation of large areas, E. I. Rachkovskaya united researchers from different regions and institutions, so most of her publications are in collaboration with other scientists. The main stages of her scientific pathway: 1954–1955 — study of the Northern Kazakhstan steppes with the aim of making vegetation map and natural subdivision (Karta…, 1960; Isachenko, Rachkovskaya, 1961). 1957–1968 — participation in Biocomplex expedition of the Academy of sciences of the USSR in Central Kazakhstan (Biokompleksnye…, 1969, 1976). 1964–1966, 1968 — the work in East-Kazakhstan cartographic expedition of Komarov Botanical Institute (Karamysheva, Rachkovskaya, 1973, 1975). 1971–1990 — the work in Soviet-Mongolian complex biological expedition of the Academy of sciences of the USSR and Academy of sciences of the Mongolian People Republic (Rachkovskaya, 1993; Karta …, 1995). 1976–1989 — Turanian cartographic expedition of Komarov Botanical Institute (Vegetation map…, 1995; Rachkovskaya, Khramtsov,2000; Botanical …, 2003).
