Helsinki Botanical Garden

  Helsinki Botanical Garden, situated in the Kumpula district of Helsinki, has roots dating back to the 1820s, making it a notable site for plant enthusiasts. This expansive garden covers over 22 hectares and serves as a living museum dedicated to the preservation of plant diversity and research. Visitors can explore over 6,000 plant species, with highlights including tropical plants in the lush, glass-roofed conservatory and various native Finnish flora. While spring, particularly in May, brings vibrant blooms, the garden offers beauty year-round, from winter's delicate evergreen accents to autumn's colorful foliage. Wander through the grounds, relax by the ponds, or simply appreciate the diverse ecosystems that thrive in this urban oasis.
