Great selection of plants

The garden section contains plants from the different habitats found in Denmark, placed in groups so you can see what grows where. There is also a special section containing the best known medicinal plants. A rockery situated in the centre of the Botanical Garden displays plants from many mountainous regions from the entire world.

Picnic in the garden

You can find tables and benches in all parts of the garden so it is easy for you to sit and enjoy a packed lunch. If you bring a disposable grill, you can use the tables with a metal plate in the middle for the grill. The used grill goes in the special rubbish bins for disposable grills.
