In Phillipshagen, you will find over 50 species of plants, many of which are rhododendrons that fill the garden with colors throughout the summer. The oldest rhododendron plants have grown into a forest-like canopy, covering the garden with flowers over several meters in height.
The garden blooms in May and June, depending somewhat on local weather conditions, but is nevertheless a beautiful place to visit and enjoy the nature and surroundings, close to the Driva River. Admission to the garden is free, and parking is available at the Sunndal village museum at Leikvin.
