Haagan Alppiruusupuisto

Reviewed By MikaelF413 - Vantaa, Finland

Haaga Rhododendron Park is a public park located in the district of Haaga. The park has two parts: the evergreen rhododendrons grow in the southern section, while the azaleas grow on the other side of the power lines in the northern section. Floral splendor can be viewed from wooden pathways and platforms. The peak blooming season is in early June. On our visit, the blooming was a little bit late. The spring was colder than average. Also, high pine trees create a shading canopy for the flowering plants. Thousands of Helsinki residents and gardening enthusiasts visit the park each year to witness the spectacle.
