Sightseeing: Lush Green & Exotic

Talvipuutarha / The Winter Garden of Helsinki is a wonderful place to visit.

Now photos from inside from my visit in early May.

About everyman’s rights

The freedom to roam, or everyman's right, is the general public's right to access 

certain public or privately owned land, lakes, and rivers for recreation and exercise. 

In Scotland, the Nordic countries of Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, 

the Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and the Central European countries 

of Austria, Czech Republic and Switzerland, the freedom to roam takes the form of 

general public rights which are sometimes codified in law.

The access is ancient in parts of Northern Europe and has been regarded as sufficiently basic 

that it was not formalised in law until modern times.

To give advice to the general public

as how to behave in the nature,

in The Winter Garden there was this rhyme:

Don't trample on lawns, don't damage the trees!

Don't disturb the peace of nature, 

don't disrespect, don't roar!

Clean your camp site, remove your garbage!

Don't draw pictures or names on trees, 

you'll just stain what was pretty.

Beware, protect someone else’s own. 

Memories in honor always!

All this in your mind imprint!

In addition to permanent plants, there are always flowers and

flower arrangements according to the season.
