The Botanic Garden

The Botanical Garden is right in the city of Oslo surounded by museums and city life of eastern flavours, meaning Asia.

This is the oldest botanical garden in Norway and was established in 1814.

If you like plants, flowers and herbs this is the place to go for some inspiration on how to make your garden better at home:) I know i have gotten some ideas only i don't have a garden.

There are a great deal of excursions to the Botanical garden with schools and kindergardens as well. Here you can do research and teach the students. In great use of the schools around Oslo.

The garden have 7 different gardens ; The Rock Garden, The Scent Garden(ment for the blind to get an experience), The Systematic garden, The Summer Flower Beds, The Old garden, The Oslo Ridge, The Arboretum.

If you are in Oslo summer time i am sure a picknik here wouldn't be waste among the different flowers that is on offer.
