Skrúður, located in western Iceland, is a unique botanical garden nestled in the rocks of a steep incline and is known to be an oasis of greenery among its barren surroundings. It was founded in 1909 by Sigtryggur Guðlaugsson and his students as a way to educate students about the environment and take care of plants. Today, the garden is recognized in the world of landscape architecture for its beauty and significance. Visitors are often filled with amazement by the incredible accomplishments of Sigtryggur and his students in transforming a seemingly inhospitable area into a tranquil place of learning and memory. Skrúður is a must see destination for anyone looking to experience the power of nature’s beauty and mankind's ingenuity.
