Easter in the University Gardens
Easter is just around the corner and it will soon be time to decorate both outside and inside.
Main content
The crocuses have barely begun to bloom, but we expect the garden will still have its blue carpet by Easter. It is also blooming elsewhere in the gardens, the spring heather in Lynghagen is at its finest at this time. Inside the Rhododendron species collection at Mørkevatnet, things have also started to stir.
In the Bergen Botanic Garden, there is most to be seen in the Fjellhagen - both bulbs and Saxifraga have started to bloom. And if you look, you can find spring flowering both here and there elsewhere in the garden too.
The Gneist sports team has put out new poles in the gardens and the pole hunt opens on 20 March, so there will be many new poles to hunt for at Easter.
The Lace house cafe (Arboretet): opens for the season on Sunday 24 March.
The lace house is open on Sundays in April from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m
Extra opening hours during Easter:
Maundy Thursday - cafe open on Sunday
1st Easter Sunday - cafe open on Sunday
2nd Easter Sunday - cafe open on Sunday
Icookkitchen in Bergen Botanic Gardens will not open until closer to May.
Would you like to help decorate the Lacehushagen for Easter?
We hang out some decorations for Palm Sunday, and would love to see more people join in and make the tree nice for Easter.
Just make sure that the decoration can withstand a little water, should the rain come.
Happy Easter
