Go there and contact
A beautiful botanical garden belonging to the university's natural history museum and created in 1814. It is home to no less than 7,500 different species and is one of Oslo's favourite places to walk. Several different areas are dedicated to specific themes:
The Herb Garden: it houses medicinal and poisonous plants, spices and a section dedicated to kitchen herbs where you can find edible plants, seeds and berries.
The Systematic Garden: the main interest is to study the relationship between flowers and their evolution.
The Arboretum: here are grouped Scandinavian trees, tropical species and very rare ones such as the gingko and the tulip tree.
The Greenhouses: several 19th century glasshouses with different themes: the Amazon, Evolution, the Mediterranean, the Desert. As one can imagine, tropical plants are found here, including magnificent water lilies.
The Viking Garden: here we discover what the Vikings ate.
The Great-Granny's Garden: translated as "the garden of the great-granny", it is not surprising to find here very old species of flowers or even non-existent elsewhere. A true museum of flowers.
The Rock Garden: a design of rocks and waterfalls to present mountainous plants from different regions of the world.
The Aromatic Garden: designed for the visually impaired, the nose is used as a guide here thanks to the many plants and flowers very fragrant.
