Open Garden 2 & 3 juli 2022

 

Next weekend we will open our garden again. We hope it won't be too warm, that's better for the people and the plants. There are a lot of reasons to visit us this time:

Smålands idylle

Did you see the beauty of our garden? A lot of summerplants start flowering now. Even the Clematis started flowering and climbing the iron sculpture. There is a sort of meadow with a lot of daisies (Prästkragor). We have a nice orange Honeysuckle, deep blue and white Salvias combined with the old fashioned yellow Daylillies. Do you know what a bitch of branches means? Just come and see my winterproject yourself. Or or example Grandma's Peonies, you shouldn't miss their special wonderful fragrance. It's unforgettable!

Delicious homebaked fika

Have you tried our homemade cakes with very nice Swedish coffee? We have Dutch Apple Pie, Swedish Blåbär or a special vanille Tigerkaka with dark chocolate pieces. We you picked up your coffe and cakes you can go and find the nicest place in our garden. We have a lakeview, shadowsides, small places and places for families. I think you always can find a suiting place for you somewhere in our garden. 

Växtloppis

Have you ever heard about a växtloppis? It's a privat place where they sell self grown seedlings and create new small plants by splitting. We want to focus on Grandma's plants, the old fashioned ones, they often have more fragrance and are important for bees (because they are not sterile). Since some weeks we have such a växtloppis, just outside our garden. You will find for example Campanula's, Sedums, Nepeta or Sweetmaiden (Borstnejlikor). But also annuals like Amarathus (Rävsvans), Cosmos, red Sunflowers and a lot of Nicotianas (Prydnadstobak) in Limegreen, White and Rosa.  Last but not least? Do you want to have a quick growing summerplant to fill your border with? You need to buy a Ricin. It has wonderful big leaves and red small flowers but will grow 1,5 meter high. There are also some cherry tomatoes left, they already started flowering and will give tomatoes soon. You know what?  It's always opened!

We hope to see you soon, feel welcome!

Psst: I hope the plants survived the heat last week and the hare has left some Salvias, Phlox and Campanulas 🙈. But anyway, maybe you just need a escape to the country to relax 😄.

Don't you have the opportunity this weekend, there are more possibilities next week. 

Glad Midsommar (and next opening times)

 

We wish you al a very nice Midsommar together. Have fun en enjoy the good times with family and friends. We hope to see you (back) one of the next weekends when it's open garden time again. Just to enjoy a coffee and fika outside or walk around in our garden with a view on the beautiful lake.

Of course the "växtloppis" is always opened, please take a look. I have made a lot of annual seedlings (blomstermorot, asters, Solros and Ricin) and perennial cuttings from all sorts of grandma's plants. Like daisy, campanula's and Asters. See it yourself when you visit us or you driving by on the way from Vittaryd to Bolmen 😉.

Thanks for visiting us & welcome back

 

What a beautiful weekend we got. Super weather, lots of sun (in the middle of very rainy days before and after....) and very much nice guests who came and visited us. A lot of them went around in our garden, tried a coffee or had some homemade cakes. You haven't been here yet? Please, come and see it next time when we are open, feel welcome. 

Thanks for welcoming us with Lingonställen in Västra Småland. We are very proud to be member in a network to promote this region. Of course, a picture was taken when Karin Lindahl was visiting us (in between Vittaryds Kyrka och Skällandsö 😉) . 

Beside of our lovely cakes and coffee, we sold some small loppis stuff and we had a växtloppis. 

That means, plants for sale, which we grow ourselves by sowing or the seedlings I find while cleaning the garden from weeds. We still have a lot of tomatoes, paprika, annual (ettårig) flowers like Cosmos, Tabak and Nattljus, but also grandmothers plants (perennials/perenner) like Akleja, Blågul, Stor Blåklocka and more. By the way, the plantmarket or växtloppis is always opened 😀😁. So when you want to take a look?

We (Peter, Steffi and Brün) like to thank all the people who came to visit us this weekend. 

Of course we hope to see you back next time also, for some relaxing in the garden, for a coffee or just enjoying a homemade cake from The Netherlands, Germany or a Swedish one.
