The ambition is to create a great ambiance rather than a collection. Close to the sea but protected from the harsh winds the climate is good for most plants.

Small garden packed with interesting plants in every season. Dwindling paved paths take you round lilies, trees, Hostas, orchids and other collector’s items.

A woodland garden on the hillside with perennial boarders in colour themes. Plants include peonies, rhododendrons, irises and roses.

A garden framed in by hedges with boarders containing perennials, interesting shrubs and evergreens. The aim is to create interest all the year around.

15 Kerstin Lundén, Anita Beijer and Nils Beijer, Göteborg
Four small gardens, all designed by Ulla Molin (1909-1997), all with their own special character from strict and cut to more free-growing.

Rocks and stones form this garden, where rhododendrons and evergreen plants play a large role. Here lives someone with a true plant interest.

Rhododendrons, magnolias and maple trees of some size make out the backbone of this garden with its beautiful pockets of plants that look as if in their natural habitat.
18 Irén Ögren Börjesson, Tjörn
The garden has evolved during 15 years and holds a large variety of trees, shrubs and perennials on a slope, close to nature.
