The Botanical gardens lie on the shore of Lake Kuivasjärvi at
the north end of the Linnanmaa campus. They constitute an integral
part of the Department of Biology at the University, and thus their
main purpose is to provide living plant material, experimental
plots and practical help for botanical teaching and research in the
University. But at the same time they serve as an important
educational resource for schools and a recreation area for the
public. A task of increasing importance is the acquisition and
experimental cultivation of plants of different provenances,
especially trees and shrubs, to test their suitability for
ornamental purposes in northern Finland.
