Alpines and Bulbs at Göteborg Botanical Garden

A presentation of the alpine and bulb collections at Göteborg, reflecting on the most precious species. During my 16 (18 by the time of the conference) years at GBG, a ton fold of fascinating and beautiful gems has come through. Some long-lasting and some for a very brief visit. The fascination of growing Alpines and Bulbs, their growing regimes, with success and failures.

Johan Nilson has been part of the GBG Alpine team since 2009 and has 16 years of experience growing Alpines and Bulbs. He travels widely for plants in the wild and Turkey, the Himalayas, North America and Central Asia lies close to heart. He has a special interest in Himalayan alpine plants and northern hemisphere geophytes, with a focus on their cultivation.
