Bergian botanic garden, Scientific botanical garden in Norra Djurgården, Sweden

The Bergian Botanic Garden occupies a sloping site at Frescati by Brunnsviken, with outdoor beds arranged by plant family and about 9,000 species in cultivation. Its largest glasshouse, Edvard Andersons växthus, opened in 1995 to Per-Rune Semrén's design: a stepped pyramidal glass roof with a small lantern at its apex, flanked by lower glazed wings and, on the left, a taller curved glass section.

The garden began as Bergielund, a garden laid out in the mid-1700s by the brothers Bengt and Peter Jonas Bergius in what is now Vasastaden. Their 1784 will donated the estate to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1791, with Olof Swartz as first Professor Bergianus. In 1885 the garden moved to Brunnsviken because the old site was to be built over; the state took over most of it in 1969.

The Edvard Andersons greenhouse displays plants from Mediterranean regions, while Victoriahuset showcases the giant Amazon water lily and aquatic specimens.

The outdoor areas are free to visit year-round, while the greenhouses require an entrance ticket for access. A café located within the greenhouse complex offers refreshments and a place to rest during your visit.

The garden is one of Sweden's clonal archives for apple varieties, keeping 18 mandated cultivars and about 25 others under the Programme for Cultivated Diversity. The Japanese Pond was dug in 1991 for the Bergian Foundation's bicentenary.
