Open Garden Times

Next weeks in June, July & August we will have open garden nearly every weekend (on Saturday & Sunday from 11-16 o'clock). Of course it's depending on the weather too, because we only have outdoor places. So when we have time and the weather is good, we can open extra. But with very hot or rainy cold weather it's not making sense to open.

Outside the garden you will find a small plant garden with some seedlings and plant cutting I have been growing last weeks. I'm very proud to show my garden to people. I'm trying to make it look like former days with grandma's plants, like the Midsommar Rose or the Hungarian Iris. So feel free to walk around or just enjoy the surroundings form a comfortabel seat in the middel of the garden, close to the lake. We also serve some small coffee & cakes.

Please follow the actual announcements the week before on this weblog, (Facebook) or Instagram (Sjobygget_Tradgard). Feel free to visit our private garden in one of these weekends. We are very happy to meet you 😉.

About me

Hello, so nice you are visiting my blog. I'm Brun Arntz. Since 2016 I'm living on the countryside in Småland Sweden. I'm working on a lot of creative projects. My biggest project is my dream was to create a big garden, with a nice natural design filled with self grown flowers with my green fingers. As you can reed in my blog, I'm still working on this project now. It makes my happy to live so close to nature, to go with the flow. It brings me a lot of balance in my life. Another project is to be creative with natural materials to make home and garden decorations. For Christmas, Wintertime, Eastern, Spring or just a normal day. That gives me a lot of spirit! Or in wintertime I try to renew old stuff. It is easy to scoren some old furniture in a famous Swedish loppis (Secondhand). Of course with nice colors in the Scandinavian style, light, simply and natural. Specially green, of course... Now I'm dreaming to have a typical Swedish Trädgårdscafe where people can have Swedish Fikatime (time for having coffee and cakes) with a lot of places to sit somewhere in a very nice garden. But the Coronavirus disturbed my planning....but maybe next spring? Great that you want to follow some my projects. I hope it will give you good spirit and inspiration too. Greetings from Brün

My garden

Once upon a time there was a very nice garden around Stegaryd Sjöbygget Gamla Skola. After the school was closed in the 50's the new owner started creating a garden around the place. The place was well known in the surroundings to be full of flowers and the lady was always working in the garden (a little bit like me now, just because I like it so much). When she got too old the house was sold as a summerhouse, the garden was not longer taken care of. When we came, in 2016, we started to clean up and recover what once was there. Because gardening, designing, creating and growing plants is my passion and love. The goal is to create a natural garden with grandma's plants and some prairiegarden influences. After 5 years, we are not ready yet but a lot of heavy work is done now. It's starting to be a nice garden again. Judge it yourself on my weblog.
