The gardens have a very ‘Helsinki’ feel to them. This is not a pompous city, revelling in its own grandiosity, and these botanical gardens reflect the natural, down-to-earth charisma of the nature-loving Finns. The grounds are well looked after, and have somewhat of a classical feel to them, but they’re not overly manicured.
