Title: Rock Gardens and nurseries in Denmark?
Post by: Maggi Young on July 21, 2008, 07:23:41 PM: Quote
I might go to Denmark with my cousin next summer - do you know of a website/contact about rock and other gardens in Denmark?
Friends, I have received this query from an SRGC Member in the USA..... can we help her, please, with suggestions of good gardens to visit?

Here is a link to the botanical garden and the Tropical house.

Going by train is not that expensive and one crosses several bridges going from Copenhagen to Aarhus so I think if time permits it might be worthfull.
There have also been a thread about Copenhagen botanical garden here at the forum.
Hope this gives a start
Kind regards
Joakim
