About this audio guide
This guide to the University Gardens at Milde, south of Bergen, looks hard at the woodland you are walking through rather than the rhododendrons and roses that made the arboretum famous. It goes back to the early nineteen sixties, a decade before the garden was founded, when foresters planted a Pacific North American conifer here for timber. Best heard on the forest paths near the bog called Langemyra.
