Botanical Garden of Turku University, Botanical garden in Ruissalo, Finland.

The garden contains six distinct greenhouses spreading over 24 hectares, displaying plant species from different climate zones across the globe.

Founded in 1924 in Iso-Heikkila, the garden relocated to its current location on Ruissalo Island in 1956, marking a new chapter in its development.

The garden functions as an educational center where visitors can learn about diverse plant species through guided tours and educational programs.

Located at Ruissalon puistotie 215 in Turku, the garden includes Café Vanha Tammi, which serves coffee and lunch in a tropical setting.

The research facilities focus on birch trees while maintaining a collection of over 5,000 plant species and varieties in both indoor and outdoor spaces.
