COPENHAGEN BOTANICAL GARDEN
 
Other Gardens, Collections and Nurseries   
 

Large complex of heated houses.  Due to the cold Danish climate, there are several and
very large glasshouses. These are just some of them.

In the Botanic Garden of Copenhagen, 25 thousand living specimens are representing a total of more than 13 thousand species. In comparison, the total flora of Europe numbers some 11 thousand species, and the total world flora of higher plants is estimated to be between 260 and 300 thousand species.

See the slide-show with 20 photos from inside the glasshouses.              Photos from the database.

House 1 contains the most humid and hot climate.

Some houses are not opened to the public, but they contains huge, old collections which can be seen from outside.

The rest is from the large garden.

A central rock garden contains among others,                      
a wide representation of central European plants.                     

It is build on the old fortress of Copenhagen, which gives some interesting layout.

Almost very single plant have a sign showing collection number, origin, family and of cause Latin name followed with common name if any.

A large section of the garden contains Arctic plants.

I have to admit the garden is best enjoyed in summer.

Early morning, before opening, the temperature extends 20oC and not a wind.

On the other hand; it is real idyllic with a dash of snow, an other early morning.
           

                The old botanical museum still contains a amassing herbarium.
