Our vision
“I want to create a place where anyone can be inspired surrounded by tranquillity and nature.”
Kari Kola
At Botania, we’re focusing on maintaining the love and care in our garden. Most of the improvements are done by our own team. We’re still learning every day at this inspirational place. We’re creating a space for everybody to enjoy; from artists who want to use our space for inspiration to other visitors who dive into our jungle.
Do you have any suggestions for Botania? Don’t hesitate to contact us!
There’s a lot of history found at Botania.
Started out as a research garden of the University of Eastern Finland, Botania is now available to the public. We’re here to share our knowledge of our plants.
Come and see the plants!
