Arboretum Mustila in Kouvola

Arboretum Mustila is the oldest arboretum in Northern Europe. Mustila is known for its exotic conifer groves and thousands of rhododendrons and azaleas that bloom in June.

Arboretum with Woodland Garden, Café, Garden Centre and Wine Estate

Arboretum Mustila was founded in 1902 as a test site for exotic trees. Today it remains a unique area of introduced trees and horticultural plants in Europe. Nearly 100 conifer species, more than 200 broad-leaved tree species and numerous shrubs, vines, bulbs and perennials have been planted in the arboretum, covering 120 hectares. What makes Mustila unique are the large, naturally developing old stands that may include trees in three generations.
