About
Hurtige fakta: Over 16 000 plant species are gathered in varied environments, from alpine pots to humid greenhouses. Along the paths you encounter aromas of myrtle and jasmine, the rustle of leaves and more often bird calls than cars.
Højdepunkter: A rounded rhododendron slope explodes in over 2 000 flowering bushes in May, a sea of purple, pink and white that almost feels like a painting. Small lantern lights lead at most 30 visitors through evening tours where gardener Anders talks about unusual species while the scent of damp soil and warm bark fills the air.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable waterproof shoes, many paths are uneven and can be muddy after rain.
- Shoot photos in the Rock Garden or Japanese glade for dramatic compositions, aim for golden hour or early morning.
- Visit the Palm House for tropical plants and warm light during colder months.
- Avoid midday weekends near the main entrance, head north toward the arboretum for quieter trails.
