Tusen Trädgården Sjöbygget Skola Open Garden Time

Next week, it is open garden time all over Sweden. It's called Tusen Trädgårdar. We will join this event and open our garden at Stegaryd Sjöbygget Gamla Skola in Vittaryd. The school and the barn were build in 1875. A lot of people form farms in this neighborhood walked to this place to go to school. It was not always that close to their homes. In 1939 they closed the school 
 and the place was sold.

We have been told there was a lady living for a long time, she loved gardening too. The garden was always full of flowers. But later the garden was forgotten and overgrown by a lot of trees. The sculptures the old lady made are still there and sometimes I found old days plants, placed them in the nursery and they started growing again. Like grandma's plants.

We want it to be a nice garden again and started working. It still needs time to grow of course, its not ready yet. Last autumn we had even to make a new sewer, it didn't really didn't serve the garden. But we hope one day it will be a garden full of flowers again, even when it is a challenge sometimes. Just now there is a hare who specialy likes Campanulas, Salvia s and Plox. They are all eaten just now.

But anyway, we live in the woods and we like to share our work to any one who is interested. So it's time to open up our garden for the first time. You are very welcome on the 28th of June 😊
