Alphems arboretum, Botanical garden in Floby, Sweden

The arboretum contains more than 200 species of trees and shrubs spread across landscaped terrain with hills and excavated valleys near Falköping.

Frans Johan Gegerfeldt, a rural mail carrier, established this collection between 1903 and 1953, transforming flat heather land into a diverse botanical space.

The Association of Alphems Arboretum maintains the garden since 1988, organizing regular social gatherings every Wednesday morning for community members.

Visitors can access the garden year-round, with the coffee cottage operating Thursday through Sunday from June to August, offering homemade refreshments.

The Dead River, a waterless stone installation inspired by Japanese gardens, connects a symbolic source to a lake through carefully arranged rock formations.
