About this audio guide
This guide to Gothenburg Botanical Garden stands you beside one small tree in the glasshouses and follows it back to Easter Island, the Pacific speck of stone heads, and the Norwegian Kon-Tiki adventurer Thor Heyerdahl's expedition of the mid nineteen fifties. It touches the islanders who carved canoes and statues from its wood, and the sheep that came after them. Best heard standing in front of the toromiro itself.
