allegedly home to every plant found in Denmark the Botanisk Have or Botanical Gardens is currently under development. A brand new Natural History Museum is planned to open in 2020 but right now the gardens look more than somewhat neglected.
We enter through a small side entrance by the current National History Museum buildings and walk past several beds of randomly cultivated weeds.
The Palm House, funded by legendary Scandinavian brewer Carl Jacobsen, promises a little more. We climb the metal-worked spiral staircase to a roof-top steamy panoramic jungle view above.
Back on firm ground we skirt the serpentine lake that snakes through the grounds and watch sundry Danish teenagers playing catchy-kissy with a frisbee.
Municipal gardens are good for these sort of things and with happy memories from days of old we make our way out.
Best regards,
