Northern Arboretum, Botanical research garden in Baggböle, Sweden
The Northern Arboretum spans 16 hectares along the Ume River, containing over 3000 planted trees, bushes, and vines from nearly 400 different taxa.
Established in 1975, the arboretum replaced a former water-powered sawmill site in Baggböle, where excessive deforestation practices influenced Swedish vocabulary with the term baggböleri.
The 1846 mansion within the arboretum functions as a conference venue and restaurant, connecting visitors with the region's forestry heritage.
The arboretum features walking paths extending one mile along the Ume River banks, providing access to its extensive collection of northern-adapted plant species.
The gardens contain western jewelweed in one of only three known habitats in Norrland, recognized for its explosive seed dispersal mechanism.
