DBW's Botanical Garden

DBW's Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in Visby, Sweden.

DBW's Botanical Garden in Visby is a plant collection organized into several themed sections, including rock gardens, herb beds, and areas showcasing local Swedish flora. The collection features both native plant species and carefully cultivated exotic plants, which benefit from the site's location near the Baltic Sea.

The garden was laid out in 1855 by the philanthropic gentlemen's society Sällskapet DBW, on a proposal by the teacher Hans Petter Gustavsson. Inspired by Carl von Linné's 1741 visit to Gotland, it began as a market garden that also gave instruction in horticulture. A thorough renovation in the early 1930s gave it its present form.

The garden belongs to Sällskapet DBW, the philanthropic gentlemen's society that created it in 1855; its garden board still decides the botanical content. Since a 1970s agreement with Gotland Municipality, DBW opens the garden free of charge as a public park while the region pays the running costs. In Ulf Lundell's 1976 debut novel Jack, the protagonist and his friends harvest cannabis here.
