Winter Garden in Helsinki, Finland

I was recently in Helsinki, the capital of Finland and visited an interesting greenhouse called the Winter Garden.  
Many flowering plants, cacti, orchids, calla lilies, daffodils, hyacinths, clivia, as well as chicken figures and painted eggs decorated the greenhouse on Easter week. I was fascinated by the Winter Garden.
 

 






























The Winter Garden founded in 1893, has been a resting place for Helsinki residents for more than a century. No matter what time of year it is, an exquisite oasis of exotic plants invites you to take a tour of the greenery. In addition to plants, spray drops in the pools delight visitors.

 





Especially on a cold day, when the temperature outside is not comfortable, this elegant greenhouse feels like a hot tropical paradise with exotic flowers.


There is the Palm room with tall palms, island pines and over hundred-year-old camellia trees. 

I liked a space with tables and chairs provides a beautiful view over the palm room and fish pond with a cute little fountain.

Today, the Helsinki Winter Garden contains a good collection of more than 200 plant species in 3 halls. One of them presents a collection of desert flowers, succulents and cacti.







I was glad the fact that Winter Garden is located just a few kilometers from the center of Helsinki, admission is free.
