Thanks to director Arve Elvebakk for these pictures taken during my garden tour at the Tromsø arctic-alpine botanic garden on 22nd June 2015!

1. On Facebook, an album of 80 pictures of edible plants seen around the garden on a tour with Director Arve Elvebakk, followed by a large crowd of folk interested in useful plants that can be grown in the arctic! https://www.facebook.com/stephen.barstow.7/media_set?set=a.10153281563210860.1073742339.655215859&type=3&pnref=story

2. Allium victorialis – the botanical garden in Tromsø has probably the best collection of this great edible plant anywhere, with accessions from across its range from the Alpw to Japan as well as Kola and the naturalised Norwegian populations:
