\nIn botanical gardens, there is always a quarter reserved for national species with two purposes: 1) To show the public, who are not so nature-minded, which species their own native nature offers, and 2) to preserve species that are threatened with extinction in the wild. Not least the latter is a cardinal point, and just as zoos with their breeding work try to prevent the extinction of animal species, botanical gardens can, through research and forward-looking propagation of plant species, help ensure that our descendants can enjoy seeing as diverse a flora as possible.\n<\/p>

\nThe lip planting towards Understedvej, consisting of Bangsbo pine planted by students from Bangsbostrand school in 1992, are the last descendants of the pine species that grew in parts of Denmark after the last ice age, including on L\u00e6s\u00f8, but also in the southern part of Sweden. The mother plants for our Bangsbo pines are the trees on L\u00e6s\u00f8, and it is in collaboration with the Arboretum in H\u00f8rsholm that the plants have been placed here with us.\n<\/p>

\nThe northernmost part of the area is designed as a transition area from the Rose Garden, while the rest is divided into beds. Here a selection of the species that grow in Danish nature is shown. The plants and herbs are grown as monocultures, as it is practically an almost impossible task to create and maintain the biotopes in which they grow naturally.\n<\/p>

\nThe beds are divided into wild edible plants, wild poisonous plants, wild bee and butterfly plants, color plants, old witch herbs, snapdragons and fragrant plants. An area for Denmark's endangered plants (red list plants) will also be established.\n<\/p>

\nThe signage at the plants informs about the special properties of the plants that have made or make them useful for many purposes. The transverse beds and paths are separated by hedges, as can also be experienced in the Botanical Gardens area.\n<\/p>

\nFurthermore, the forest areas to the west and east are supplemented with collections of plants from Dafo (Danish Research). These are plants that have undergone a long-term selection process, ensuring that they are the best within the species with regard to a wide range of characteristics that make them particularly suitable for growing in Denmark. These plants have been selected in close collaboration with former research leader at the Danish Agricultural Research Institute, Poul Erik Brander.\n<\/p>

\nIn the middle of the area, there is a pavilion measuring approximately 30 m2. Here you can take shelter in bad weather or seek shade on a hot day.\n<\/p>

\nAll paths are handicap-friendly with a solid surface of gravel, and spot lighting has been established with Bysted lamps, similar to the lighting in the other neighborhoods of the Garden.\n<\/p><\/div><\/main>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
