The Geographical Garden is a 14-hectare botanical garden in Kolding, where the geographical aspect is related to the fact that trees, shrubs and herbs are planted together according to country of origin. The garden first arose as a nursery when Aksel Olsen, who in 1917, after a successful apprenticeship in Danish as well as German nurseries, bought an area called "Sibirien", which was a 14-acre land up to the connecting road between Vonsild and Tved in the southeastern part of Kolding. Aksel Olsen both heard and read about the many new flowers and plant species discovered in East Asia, and he imported these by the hundreds. As the garden grew bigger and bigger, he got the idea of dividing the garden into geographical areas. There are branches for North America, Japan, China, South America, Manchuria, Korea, Siberia, and Southwest Asia.
