University of Oulu Botanical Gardens
The University of Oulu Botanical Gardens are located on the main campus of the University of Oulu in Linnanmaa district in Oulu, Finland on the shore of Lake Kuivasjärvi. Botanical gardens were moved to Linnanmaa from the Hupisaaret Islands park near the city centre in the summer of 1983. Gardens are part of the department of biology at the university.
The total area of the botanical gardens is 16 hectares. While outdoor gardens grow plants suitable for local weather, there are two pyramid-shaped greenhouses housing plants from warmer climatic zones. The two pyramids have been named Romeo and Juliet.
