Helsinki

Today we visited Rhododendron Park. Last year we were too late for blossom. This year timing was right. Rhododendron blooming is at its best in early June. The park’s official name is Alppiruusupuisto, Rhododendron Park, It is also known as Rodopuisto or Rhodopuisto. It is an eight-hectare area, which was originally bog. It functions simultaneously as a park open to the public and as the University of Helsinki’s plant breeding experimental site − a solution unique in the world. The oldest rhododendrons have been planted in 1975, when the experimental site for the University of Helsinki’s plant breeding programme was developed in the area.

To me this is the loveliest place in Helsinki in early June. Rhododendron Park in city district of Haaga. To see the blossoming time is like walking in a middle of the magic forest of flowers! Bring your own picnic -basket with you and enjoy a nice day off in the park!
