Tietoa

Nopeat faktat: Over 15,000 plant species thrive across terraced hillside gardens originally designed for scientific study in the 18th century. The rare Wollemia pine, a living fossil discovered in Australia in 1994, grows here alongside centuries-old medicinal herbs.

Kohokohdat: Hidden among the terraced slopes is a 200-year-old Ginkgo biloba tree that turns the pathway into a flutter of gold every October. The greenhouses house a collection of carnivorous plants that trap insects in shimmering droplets, visible up close through the glass.

Sisäpiirin vinkit

• Skip the main entrance queue by buying your ticket online in advance.
• Wear sturdy shoes: the gardens climb a steep hillside with uneven stone steps.
• The succulent greenhouse is least crowded right at opening time and offers the best light for photos.
• Bring a small notebook to jot down the scientific names on the plant labels, many of which are rare finds.
