Botanical gardens in Sweden feature collections of living plants for research, education, and conservation. While some focus on native and endemic Swedish species, most include plants from around the world. These gardens and arboreta are found across Sweden, administered by universities, local governments, and occasionally private entities.
Five of the listed gardens are members of the Swedish Network of Botanical Gardens (SNBG), a collaborative network of botanical gardens and arboreta that maintain documented collections of living plants for scientific research, conservation, outreach, and education.
This list includes notable botanical gardens and arboreta in Sweden, most of which are registered in the BGCI Garden Search database. These gardens are important centers for collecting rare and endangered species, educating the public about plant science, horticulture, and biological diversity, while also offering enjoyable and relaxing visits.
