Introduction

The Lund Botanical Garden is run by Lund University and dates back to the 1690s, among Sweden's oldest. Across about seven hectares of open grounds and a series of greenhouses it collects plants from the Mediterranean to the tropics. Both a research base and a city oasis, it is where citizens stroll, learn flowers and find calm.
