Bangsbo Botaniske Have
Project Description
The world’s largest crevice garden can be found in Bangsbo Botaniske Have in Frederikshavn.The crevice garden is a big rockery where huge oblong limestone has been placed vertically and very closely together. This leaves deep, vertical crevices where the plants roots can find moisture and shade, replicating how nature has adapted in many places. The construction of the garden started in the spring of 2009; however the planting of the garden wasn’t finished until June 2010 when Bangsbo Botaniske Havde had its Blomsterfestival (Flower Festival). The plants in the garden are alpine plants which can only thrive in Denmark if certain basic requirements are met. First of all, there can be no water around the crown of the plant, so there has to be extremely well drainage as well as meeting requirements for light and shade. This is why a crevice garden is ideal for alpine plants.
