Reykjavík Botanic Garden, Botanical garden in Reykjavík, Iceland.
Reykjavík Botanic Garden is a garden in the Laugardalur valley with eight specialized plant collections. The grounds feature diverse vegetation arranged by botanical theme and geographic origin.
The garden was founded in 1961 by Reykjavík to support plant research and conservation. Since then it has become a center for scientific work and public education.
The garden displays Arctic plants and native Icelandic species that show the natural diversity of northern regions. Visitors can observe which plants thrive in this harsh climate.
The garden is open daily and offers paths to explore the plant collections at your own pace. Wear weather-appropriate clothing since conditions change quickly in this region.
The garden contains over 300 shrub species specially adapted to Iceland's subarctic climate. These rare varieties are found nowhere else in such concentration.
