Aarhus Botanical Gardens

Aarhus Botanical Gardens is a large park in the city center containing plants from diverse climates and regions, with some species kept in heated greenhouses. The site includes open garden sections, pathways connecting different areas, ponds, and facilities for children.

The gardens were established in the mid-1870s as a place for growing plants for scientific study and experimentation. Over time, the collection expanded and it became a space combining research interests with public access.

The gardens serve as a place where visitors can experience plant life from different climates and regions without leaving the city. People come here to learn about nature and enjoy time in a green space.

The gardens are open throughout the year, and all pathways are well-maintained and easy to walk. Visitors can spend a few hours exploring at their own pace, and different seasons reveal different plants in bloom or at their best.

One of the greenhouses features a spiral design that makes use of floor space more efficiently while reducing the exterior footprint. This architectural detail is something visitors notice when walking through the structure.
