About this audio guide
This guide to Vitsippsdalen, the wood anemone valley at the edge of Gothenburg's Botanical Garden, asks why a garden devoted to order lets one of its valleys fall apart on purpose. It reaches back to the early nineteen hundreds, when this scrap of old forest shaped where the whole garden would go. Best heard on the path beside the stream, among the moss-covered logs.
