Kumpula Botanic Garden

Kumpula botanic garden is situated on the historical grounds of Kumpula Manor. The garden is six hectares wide and is divided into two parts: the garden of cultivated plants and the geobotanical garden. In the manor house you can find the geological collections from minerals to meteorites.

During summer 2023 the garden and the geological collections are open 10.5.–22.6. Wed.-Sun. at 11–18 and 27.6.–9.9. Tue.-Sat. at 11–18.

The garden area of cultivated plants features useful plants as well as ornamental plants that were common in manor gardens of the 19th century. The living plants in the geobotanical garden have been collected from areas in the northern hemisphere that have similar climate conditions to southern Finland. Only naturally occurring plants are included in the geobotanical garden, which makes the collection both valuable and unique.

Kumpula botanic garden and the geological collections are part of the Finnish Museum of Natural History, Luomus, an independent research institution functioning under the University of Helsinki. Kaisaniemi botanic garden and the Natural History Museum are also part of Luomus. All the public attractions of Luomus are museum card destinations.
