Since my ordinary job mostly consist on sitting in front of the computer, gardening is the perfect hobby! I get to work with my hands, get dirty all over, get a nice workout and lovely flowers in reward!
For the soul, it is also the perfect treatment… Any anger, frustration or other issues just flies away while being in the garden. The best therapy, haha.
This year we are gearing up a bit, trying to grow some vegetables and besides that try to take car of as much of natures resources as possible. So far we harvested a lot of leech and made syrup from wild pansies and lemon balm. 

​(Ps, our Beautiful bird bath is available in the webshop, click the button below for more info.)

Lemon balm also makes a really tasty tea, perfect for bedtime! Just pour hot water over the leaves and let it soak for about 10 minutes, add some more water and enjoy!

Have a good week everyone! 

In May, Sweden dresses up like to go to a ball.  After hiding inside the long dark winter, we all come crawling out from our coverts ready to enjoy the light and the fresh air. It is truly a long wait, but how nature repays us!! Millions of nuances of green, flowers in all colors and birds competing in their yearly singing competition.

Warmer days and evenings makes it possible to have fika outside. Stumpastaken can spread it´s light both indoors and outdoors and the garden starts to give us flowers for our vases!

Picking flowers and making nice arrangements is one of lifes great but little joys.  We always have fresh flowers on the table during the blooming season and I use whatever I can find. Sometimes garden flowers and somtimes just anything from the ditch. 
Life is too short not to enjoy natures wonders!
Have a lovely May everyone!

My husband loves golfing. I tried, but did not get hooked. Instead I have come to realize I love gardening. I truly enjoy getting dirty from top to toe, dig deep in the soil and plant new things, care for them, water them and hope they survive. And then the reward... fresh flowers to place in our lovely vases.

Right now I have an obsession with stone. Since we have a typical west coast garden, we have lots of stone, rocks and wind. So, I try to use whatever I find in the soil to make little pathways of rocks and plant in the small natural crevices.
​Eventually this will be a peaceful place to just breathe, enjoy and meditate. 
​But for now, it is my sport when my husband is on the golf corse, my therapy and my joy.

Todays morning view through the eye of our guarding lucky sculpture. I can see him from my desk, constantly watching over us, never closing his eye... How lovely it is to wake up to sunshine and birds singing... This will be a good week!
