Stavanger botanic garden Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

cervisvenator: Hi

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for the cache owner and block other cachers from placing a cache in the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can’t do so forever.

Nothing seems to happen with this cache listing, so it is now archived, so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if it hasn’t been done already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

(This reviewer note is in English so non-Norwegian cache owners, geocachers and cache reviewers can understand what it says.)

Thanks for your understanding,
Cervis Venator

Geocache Description:

Stavanger Botaniske Hage ligger i vestskråningen under Ullandhaugtårnet i Stavanger. Den eldste delen av Stavanger botaniske hage er urtehagen. De første 200 kvadratmeterne ble anlagt våren 1977. Urtehagen inneholder blant annet krydderplanter, teplanter, duftplanter, grønnsaker og klosterplanter.

The Stavanger Botanic Garden was established in 1977 and includes 1,2 hectares of garden and parkland. The best parts are the geographic garden, the herb garden, and the perennial garden.

Fra skråningen ved Ullandhaug har den botaniske hagen en vakker utsikt utover Jæren, Hafrsfjord og Nordsjøen. Hagens ene bredside vender mot universitetet, den andre mot Sørmarka med et nettverk av stier. I hagens nordlige ende ligger den private Ullandhaug økologiske gård og Jernaldergården. Med disse naboene er botanisk hage et fargerikt hjørne i et sammenhengende rekreasjonsområde som har tematiske linjer tilbake i historien, frem i tiden og ut i naturen. I hagen finnes benker der en kan nyte utsikten. Det er også gressarealer egnet for piknik og lek. Det første navnet på den botaniske hagen var Ullandhaughagen, og drivkraften bak hageanlegget var Ingjerd Røynlid Høie. Fra 2006 har Stavanger botaniske hage hatt samarbeid med Rogaland Arboret om felles database for hagenes plantesamlinger. Denne databasen er lokalisert i Stavanger kommune. Hagen er alltid åpen, og om sommeren har hagens venneforening salg av drikke og vafler på søndagene.

The geographic garden is divided into the following sections: Asia, Africa, Europe, New Zealand, Australia, North America and South America. Among the highlights in the Asia section are big-leaved Rhododendron species (e.g., R. sinogrande), kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa), and cultivars of Camellia. The oceanic climate of Stavanger is similar to that of mountainous areas of New Zealand, Tasmania and Chile, and permits growing plants that are unusual in a Scandinavian context. Some highlights in the New Zealand section are speargrass species (e.g., Aciphylla colensoi), Hebe species, the cabbage tree (Cordyline austalis), Hymentanthera alpina, and New Zealand flax (Phormium tenax). The Australian section contains several species of Eucalyptus as well as Tasmanian cedar (Athrotaxis cupressoides and A. selaginoides), mountain pepper (Drimys lanceolata), and alpine mint bush (Prostanthera cuneata). Exemples of genera in the South American section are Alstroemeria, Araucaria, Embotrium, Eucryphia, Lomatia, Maytenus, and Nothofagus.

The herb garden has a variety of spices, tea plants, medicinal plants, monastery plants, vegetables, and poisonous plants.

The perennial garden contains herbaceous and mixed borders of species of interest to gardeners particularly of southwest Norway.
