The Bergian Garden, or The Bergianska Trädgården in Swedish, is
a botanical garden and park on the waterfront situated in beautiful
surroundings just outside central Stockholm. It was founded in 1791 by
an antiquarian and historian by the name of Bengt Bergius whom donated
the area to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
The exhibitions include herb garden, ponds, conservatory and Mediterranen flora, deserts and tropical plants.
The garden was originally located to the more central parts of Stockholm (Vasastaden), but moved out to its present location in 1885.
This area is called Frescati, and is very close to Stockholm University as well as the Museum of Natural History.
