Jokkmokks Fjällträdgård

Lappland


Under the auspices of the Ájtte Museum, this appealing botanical garden introduces local flora, such as glacier crowfoot, moor-king and mountain avens, as well as plants traditionally used by the Sami for medicinal purposes. Follow the signs from the museum. There is a thought-provoking Sami Sculpture Park around the entrance to the gardens too.
