The Palace Park is one of Oslo’s first public parks, displaying the romantic landscape style that dominated garden arts in the 1840s. Extensive perennial plantings, great lawns as well as some of the oldest trees in central Oslo characterize the park.
Despite its historical roots, new ideas and styles are also implemented in the park design. One area is dedicated to native meadows, important for bees and pollinators. The park also contains seven historic statues as well as a newly opened section with sculptures designed in collaboration with children.
The walk will introduce to the participants the history of the park and how it is the main outdoor area for national ceremonies. Information will be given about the use of the park as a public park in the city centre.  We will talk about the maintenance program for vegetation with focus on the treatment of trees.

Abelhaugen was and still is an important element in the park, creating a visual and practical connection between the city and the castle. This part of the park is named after Niels Henrik Abel, a famous Norwegian mathematician. It is redesigned to a small but complex garden with a beautiful planting of roses and perennials.
