Cedergrenska parken, Botanical garden in Stocksund, Sweden
Cedergrenska parken is a botanical garden near Stockholm featuring collections of exotic conifers and multiple varieties of fruit trees from around the world. The grounds extend along two waterways and include natural forest areas as well as historic buildings.
A researcher founded the park in the late 19th century to study how foreign tree species thrive in Sweden's climate. The project grew into a significant center for forestry and botanical research in the region.
The park grew from a private collector's vision and remains a place where visitors encounter trees from distant lands in a northern setting. The open grounds show how these foreign species have become rooted in the local landscape over time.
The park offers many paths to explore, whether you wish to see the tree collections or walk along the waterside. The best time to visit is spring and summer, when the paths are dry and the vegetation is most active.
Beehives have been maintained in the park since 2013 to support pollination of the fruit trees and attract more species. This active beekeeping is part of a broader effort to keep the ecosystems within the grounds thriving.
