SIDE-EVENTS
Alnarp’s landscape laboratory!
The cities of 21st century are patchworks of grey and green, of built-up areas and open spaces, and their predominant public plots are not parks, but woodlands. Hence the interest, in a landscape urbanistic perspective, to explore, experiment and shape their aesthetic and ecological qualities in an 18 hectare landscape laboratory on campus. Join a walk with founder and professor emeritus Roland Gustavsson, SLU, manager Allan Gustavsson, SLU, and landscape architect Jitka Svensson, morflandskapsarkitektur!
Maximum number of participants: 40
Price: Free of charge for conference participants.
Duration: 3h guided tour on foot. 16.30h shuttle bus back to Malmö.

Alnarp Rehabilitation Garden was established in the outskirts of the campus in the early 2000’s with the aim of combining physio- and/or psychotherapy with the use of restorative natural areas through the creation of a garden that was designed to merge theories on horticultural therapy with restorative environments.

A stroll in the park of Alnarp!
The park of Alnarp was created in the mid-19th century and completed in the early 1880s as part of an agricultural school. The gentle topography of the park and its winding paths reflect the romantic ideals of a landscape park. The park’s about 2,500 species make it one of the most species-rich in the country and it is also a destination for ornithologists. Trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants from all over the globe are represented which also makes it a teaching asset.
