Today, the garden is recognized in the world of landscape architecture for its beauty and significance. Visitors are often filled with amazement by the incredible accomplishments of Sigtryggur and his students in transforming a seemingly inhospitable area into a tranquil place of learning and memory. Skrúður is a must see destination for anyone looking to experience the power of nature’s beauty and mankind's ingenuity.
