Things to see and do Ruissalo

The University of Turku has a branch in Ruissalo, where you can find a magnificent botanical garden. On the spot, there are no less than 5,000 species, a beautiful living showcase of the biodiversity of the plant world with, in addition, vegetable gardens (aromatic and medicinal herbs), crossbreeding of new vegetables, fruits and berries. The neighbouring rose garden displays old-fashioned rosebushes, some of which were already in bloom in the 17th century!
