Title: the most beautiful botanical garden in europe
Post by: Rockyyy5 on August 29, 2018, 09:18:52 PM: hello everyone!
I am planning a few weeks trip in Europe in spring. Mostly I would like to visit the most beautiful botanical gardens and see how nature is coming alive. I am living in UK so I saw gardens in this country and also a few in Vienna when I visited my family. If you could recommend other beautiful places I would be grateful!

Hallo Rocky, I can recomment You the Botanical Gardens of Berlin, where this weekend is a great trademarket with perennial plants and bulbs. In summer also I visited the Botanical Garden of Akureyri/Iceland and was surprised about the many flowers (see foto)!

Old botanical garden in Marburg (very nice old town)

Botanical Garden in Jena (a visit to the world's oldest planetarium is also worthwhile)

Botanical Garden in Berlin (very large and interesting)

Have a good trip
Thomas

In Belgium and Holland there are several good gardens. The rock gardens at Utrecht Botanical Gardens are quite something!
