Aarhus Forestry Botanical Garden

Aarhus Forestry Botanical Garden (Danish: Forstbotanisk Have) is a forestry botanical garden located in the south of Aarhus, Denmark. It is outside The Old Town Museum (Den Gamle By).^[1] It forms a small part of the northern section of Marselisborg Forests, and is situated right next to Marselisborg Palace and Mindeparken. The cathedral is a 10-minute walk away.^[2] The botanical garden was established in 1923.^{[citation needed]}

The garden holds 900 different species of trees and bushes from all over the world, on just about 5 hectares (12 acres). Because of the nearby forest and the varied flora, the botanical garden also attracts a varied fauna and it is not unusual to spot roe deer, squirrels, owls and herons, amongst other animals here.
