The Greenhouse

The greenhouse consists of nine departments with different climates and plants from all over the world. Adjacent to desert succulents are a couple of 100-year-old cycads, native to tropical forests, and now threatened by extinction. The greenhouse was ready in 1865 and plants from the old greenhouse, then situated in Lundagård in front of the current university building, were moved here. Several o

Fernery

 In the fernery we take a leap back in time, to a period in which ferns and lycopods covered the face of the Earth. The climate was warm and humid and no flowering plants had evolved yet. Fossils of lycopods show that this group has existed for 500 million years, whereas the first ferns appeared later, approximately 360 million years ago. In the fernery, there are representatives of all the major
