This article describes the stages of the creation and implementation of the scientific and educational project "Persona Botanica" at the Botanical Garden of North-Eastern Federal University and the Amur Branch of the Botanical Garden-Institute of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The project's idea was to highlight the history of flora studies and the development of botanical science in Yakutia and the Amur region from the 17th to the 20th centuries, focusing on the biographies of scientists and the indigenous plants named in their honor. Information boards illustrating the "Persona Botanica" project were prepared taking into account the floristic characteristics of the regions and were displayed at a series of exhibitions in Yakutsk and Blagoveshchensk in museum and exhibition spaces and in the library network for a wide audience. Additionally, the exhibitions included popular science lectures about prominent regional botanists and meetings with the project organizers.
