Alnarp Park Arboretum, Botanical garden and arboretum in Alnarp, Sweden.

Alnarp Park is a 26-hectare botanical garden holding roughly 2,500 tree and shrub species from around the world. The grounds display one of Sweden's largest living collections, organized to show plants from different climates and regions.

The park began in 1859 alongside Alnarp Castle and became grounds for an agricultural institute that opened in 1862. Its development has been tied to the growth of Swedish agricultural education and plant research.

The park serves as an active learning space for students and visitors connected to Sweden's agricultural university. Walking through, you see how plants are labeled and organized for education and research.

The 26-hectare park is open to the public and lies between Lund and Malmö, on the SLU campus in Alnarp. The arboretum itself covers 3.2 hectares and is best visited in the snow-free months. Paths run past the castle grounds and the labelled collections used in teaching.

The park was laid out in an old elm wood mentioned in Carl Linnaeus's Skånska resa, and several trees predate the park itself. It also records over 25 red-listed fungi and about ten bat species.
