Adorable and peaceful little garden
Redutti Kotkan Yrttipuutarha
Why locals love it
Redutti Herb Garden is built in the remains of the historical fortifications of Ruotsinsalmi. It's a tiny piece of history and full of fragrance and colour in the summer months. A hidden gem with total peace and quiet.

Why you should visit it
The Herb Garden is an intimate and sedate place where you can learn about herbs and admire their growth and scents during the summer. There are even texts for the visually impaired and some notes on the historical purpose of the fortifications.
Special tip
This place is like a second living room for me in late spring and early summer as the walls protect from chilly winds from the nearby sea.
