Om

Hurtige fakta: Helsinki Universitets botaniske have rummer over 2.800 plantearter fordelt på tre distinkte drivhusklimazoner. Den udendørs have ændrer sig dramatisk med årstiderne og giver en helt anden oplevelse ved hvert besøg i løbet af året.

Højdepunkter: Sukkulenthuset indeholder en enkelt kaktus, der har vokset uafbrudt siden 1930'erne, og som nu rager godt over 4 meter op mod glasloftet. I vintermånederne føles kontrasten mellem sneklædte områder udenfor og tropisk varme indenfor næsten surrealistisk, med kondens, der strømmer ned ad vinduerne, mens du går blandt kæmpepalmer.

Insidertips

Visit the succulent greenhouse first thing on a cold day - the warm, dry air is a quick thaw after a chilly walk over.
The butterfly room (open seasonally) lets you see tropical species up close as they flutter freely among the flowers.
Bring a notebook and sketch the Victorian-era greenhouse architecture, especially the iron-framed Palm House with its elegant dome.
Check the university website before visiting - the garden hosts occasional evening events with live music among the plants.
