Just go!

We went to Mustila Arboretum today. It was raining in the morning but after visiting my parents in Vääksy we drove back to Elimäki and the weather was perfect for a walk in the woods. If you like woodland gardens, a vist to Mustila is a must.

Flowers in abundance

If you want to see colourful flowering, visit Mustila at Elimäki (Kouvola) during late May, early June. We visited Mustila last weekend and the azaleas were in flower. The rhododendrons will flower a bit later, maybe on this weekend. If you live in Helsinki, visit Haaga's rhododendron park - I heard that azaleas are at their best there, too.

Mustila is an arboretum so there are also fabulous trees and other plants. The Douglas firs from America are amazing, the highest are about 40 meters!
