Description:
The botanical garden of Jyväskylä University was established in early the 1880's when the first buildings of the Teacher Training College were erected. The garden surrounding them was designed to be a Finnish counterpart of the Englishscenic garden with its rolling hills, winding paths and freely growing grass.
