From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bergianska trädgården, the Bergian Garden or Hortus Bergianus, is a botanical garden located in the Frescati area on the outskirts of Stockholm, close to the Swedish Museum of Natural History and the main campus of Stockholm University.
The Garden was founded through a donation in 1791 from the historian and antiquarian Bengt Bergius and his brother Peter Jonas Bergius, a physician and scientist, to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and was originally located to their mansion and its adjacent garden on the road Karlbergsvägen, in what is now the Vasastaden district in central Stockholm but at the time still had a largely rural character. The garden was moved to its current location in 1885.
The garden is today jointly administered by the Academy of Sciences and Stockholm University.
