context_page_description: The Royal Danish Horticultural Society's Garden is a garden in the Frederiksberg district of Copenhagen, Denmark operated by the Danish Horticultural Society as a source of inspiration for its members as well as other people with an interest in gardening. It is situated on Frederiksberg Runddel, just left of the main entrance to Frederiksberg Gardens.
context_section_description: The Royal Danish Horticultural Society's first garden was located further down Frederiksberg Allë, at present day Haveforeningsvej which was named for it. In 1882 it moved to its current location, on land which used to be part of Frederiksberg Palace's nursery and vegetable garden. The former palace gardens had just opened to the public after a century as the private domain of the Danish royal family. The new garden was designed by the prominent landscape architect Henrik August Flindt who around the same time also designed Ørstedsparken, University of Copenhagen Botanical Garden and Østre Anlæg in the grounds of the so-called Fortification Ring, the land which had until then been occupied by the city's now decommissioned Bastioned Fortifications.
  Over the years, different areas have gradually been restored and redesigned by some of the leading Danish landscape architects of their day.
  From 2001 to 2010 Jane Schul was director and principal architect of the garden. He has designed a section dedicated to different grasses (1992), a water garden and a perennials garden.
