The old garden part with the statue of Uffe hin Spage (Uffe the Meak) is a quiet corner with benches, trees and flowers.

Christiansfeld Pharmacy Garden
In the symmetrically laid out medieval garden lots of traditional medicinal plants can be found. The pharamacy gardehn was laid out again in 1990 according to a garden plan and plant list from 1761, which was found in the Moravian Brethren town of Bethabara in the USA.

Originally the garden was established together with the pharmacy in 1783. The beautiful building still houses the Christiansfeld and is situated at 21, Lindegade. Visitors will be allowed into the garden, if they ask for it in the pharmacy.
Trapholt - the Garden by the Bay
The garden at Trapholt was laid out in 1934 with a magnificent view of the Bay of Kolding. To the south parts of the bay and the landscape on the south side are staged by groups of trees. The large curved perennial bed, which almost imitates a coiled spring, invites to movement. When you move to the south side of the bed, the narrow strip of grass under the tree crowns form a secure counterbalance to the open boundlessness of the grassy plain.
In the south eastern part of the garden the path opens towards anamphitheatre-like terrain and to the west the path disappears into a natural pergola. The garden is a beautiful explosion of colours and shapes, take a look behind the museum and enjoy the sight, which awaits. There is free admission to the garden.

Slotsparken (The Castle Park)
The landscape of the castle bank is a clay knoll pushed up by the ice during the ice age. The marked height made it natural to place the fortress Koldinghus here, and with the high location it is a marked landmark of the town. The castle bank functions as a promenade park and is owned and cared for by the State.
