Gärdet is situated cca. 20-30 meters under the ground. And around 12.500 people are using the station in a regular weekday, making it one of the popular ones in the city.

The station was decorated with exotic beetles by Karl Axel Pehrson in 1967, when it was opened. The exhibits are made out of various materials and they even have assigned Latin names. Nevertheless, with time, some of the beetles disappeared. Pehrson called his work Fantasy beetles.
