Aarhus Forestry Botanical Garden Explained

Aarhus Forestry Botanical Garden (Danish: Forstbotanisk Have) is a forestry botanical garden located in the south of Aarhus, Denmark. It is outside The Old Town Museum (Den Gamle By).[1] It forms a small part of the northern section of Marselisborg Forests, and is situated right next to Marselisborg Palace and Mindeparken. The cathedral is a 10-minute walk away.[2] The botanical garden was established in 1923.

The garden holds 900 different species of trees and bushes from all over the world, on just about 5ha. Because of the nearby forest and the varied flora, the botanical garden also attracts a varied fauna and it is not unusual to spot roe deer, squirrels, owls and herons, amongst other animals here.
