Guided tours in the Botanical Garden
During 1.5 – 2 hours you will get an overview of the Botanical Garden’s varied facilities and enjoy the experiences at a comfortable pace, adapted to the group and according to the season.
A guided tour in the Botanical Garden is an experience of a lifetime!
I share beauty experiences and personal favorites among all the beautiful and exciting things from both the cultivated and wild nature in the Botanical Garden. I talk about the Botanical Garden’s unique plant collections and their work to preserve biodiversity, history and future. Depending on the group size, there is room for questions, conversations and in-depth discussions.
I meet the group in the entrance or by appointment. A complete tour contains the most interesting facilities in the Botanical Garden and takes about two hours. Depending on the season, weather and the group’s wishes, the tour may be different.
Is the group particularly interested in design and layout with garden plants?
There is an incredible amount of inspiration and knowledge to take home to your own garden by studying different types of facilities in more detail. Ask me! If you want the tour to be more nature-inspired, we can include a refreshing walk over Håberget with a view of the city of Gothenburg, or why not stretch your legs with a trip to the Arboretum and perhaps even up to Ljungheden in Änggårdsbergen Nature Reserve? Let us know your wishes and areas of interest, and I will adapt the plan accordingly. Walking-friendly and stable shoes are recommended.
Guide prices 2025
A guided tour of approximately 2 hours costs 4800 SEK excluding VAT. The tour can be done in 1 – 1.5 hours, but the price is the same. Admission to Botaniska is an additional 30 SEK per person, which I will add to your invoice and forward in full to Botaniska. This is according to Botaniska’s rules for private guided tours in the garden.
Cancellations can be made free of charge up to three days before the tour day. Later cancellations will be charged half the cost. Cancellation on the same day will be charged the full cost. In the event of cancellation, no entrance fee will be charged, only the guide fee.
Invoicing
Payment is made against invoice 30 days, or directly in Swedish crowns (cash). Invoicing details and your reference must be communicated to me at the time of booking. I can send a paper invoice or digitally via email.
Group size
Around 20 people in a group is usually a good balance. If the group is significantly larger, I can make a special arrangement based on your wishes and time requirements. Smaller groups or a completely private guided tour are of course also fine and are particularly suitable for those who are interested in plant selection, composition and care. Then we have time to stop a little longer at different places and talk in more detail.
Combine with a visit to my private garden!
My private garden is in Askim, about 10 minutes by car from Botaniska. Here the group gets a unique and peaceful experience, which complements the visit to Botaniska. It is also possible to have lunch or refreshments in my garden. Contact me to get suggestions for a plan that suits you.
Do not hesitate to get in touch with your wishes, ideas or questions! Further down the page there is a presentation of me as a guide! Contact >>
About Camilla
I have been a coach, author, teacher and guide in the Garden industry for 10 years, besides my official work as a business developer in the Tech industry.
As a child, my parents took me and my sister for Sunday walks in the Botanical Garden. Later on, it functioned as my green lung in a hectic city life. In the Botanical Garden I found both harmony and flow as well as reflection and comfort, during many and long walks.
When I got my own garden in 2001, I went back to the Botanical Garden for collecting ideas and knowledge to bring home and experiment in my own garden. I noticed how different plants, colors, scents and environments brought me closer to my own feelings and memories and became more whole as a person.
Since many years I am a member of the board in The Botanical Gardens Friends Association which is a real joy. I open my own garden for visitors. In 2016 I published a book ”Känn Trädgården” (Sense the Garden) about my own garden experience. The book was nominated as the garden book of the year in Sweden. I am also the author of the book ”The Gothenburg Botanical Garden”, published in 2020.
Today I want to inspire and motivate others to enjoy year around gardening and preserve biological diversity in a relaxed and easy way, and I use both the Botanical Garden and my own garden as educational places.
During my guided tours, we talk not only about plants, cultivation and design, but also about the human relation to nature and mindfulness.
