Welcome to our small homestead in Sweden

The Garden

My ambitions for the garden probably exceed my abilities. However, dreams are what keeps me going. First and foremost, I want to create beautiful surroundings for us to live in. Yet, I dare not speak about my ideas to people who tell me «isn’t it enough». But if you have found this website, I hope you might be at least a little bit interested in gardening. So here it is; I hope that in a few years I will be able to have a visitor garden. I’d love to share my garden with other people and to talk about gardening with likeminded people. So, maybe I’ll see you here some time 🙂
