In the same area as the Ullandhaug Tower and Iron Age Farm I wrote about in my previous post is Stavanger’s Botanical garden.
I like to walk here sometimes to look at the lovely flowers and plants they have. The garden is not very big but it’s lovely to combine a walk here with a walk in the woods close to the tower. And I do enjoy looking at the lovely flowers in summertime and the herb garden is quite nice.
Upon entering the garden the first thing I noticed was a stroller with a sleeping baby and I could not see anyone around that was not just jogging by on the forest path. I started looking around a little afraid someone had left the stroller there but quickly saw a guy with a net close by who confirmed this was his baby. After that I ran into two elderly ladies looking for a pair of sunglasses. As it turned out the lady had them on her head…..
The garden is also right next to the University of Stavanger and Ullandhaug Organic Farm where I stopped for ice cream on my way from the garden to see a friend. The farm has a great shop with only ecological products many of them are local.
Even if this summer isn’t great weather wise here in Stavanger we need to enjoy it as best we can. And visiting favourite spots in the local area on my walks is a great alternative to going to the beach when the temperatures are around 10-14 degrees Celsius. This summer has not at all been like last year.

The thoughts and life of me 
The garden sounds beautiful and your description of the lady looking for her glasses when they where on her head all the time made me laugh! Kevin
It was quite funny. The garden is lovely in summer!
This is lovely. I was hoping you’d share more about the farm. Hugs!
I like the garden too 😊
Absolutely beautiful…. Have a wonderfu week ahead! Aquileana ⭐
Thank you! And a lovely week to you too!
Ha ha! Sounds like something I would do- looking for something that was right there with me all the time. Good to know I’m not alone and it happens to people all over the world.😄
It is one thing I have never done (but I’ve done a lot of simillar things) but we all had a good laugh together when we found them!
Glad you found the baby’s parent
I was very glad about that too! The little while when we were unsure if he belonged to someone close by was heartbreaking. The relief when the man said it was his was good. He was close by all the time, we just didn’t see him.
This looks beautiful. I like gardens and flowers. I watched a video of Stavanger and it looks like a beautiful place. I love the coloured houses too. 🙂
Inca lillies in Norway? 🙂 I imagined those flowers all over South America! lol 🙂
Thank you! Inca lilies grows in Norway in flowerbeds.
Looks very peaceful! 🙂
Thank you. It really is!
