Skåne’s gardens entice, surprise and inspire. Why not try a round-trip here?

Skåne is alive with gardens. From large, magnificent chateau gardens with

figures shaped in box hedges and yew trees to small, secretive private patches

behind well-groomed hedges and white-painted fences. Come and explore.

Sense the aroma of coffee and elder flower, pyramid cake and roses.

Especially in Billinge, where the Frick family have their bakery in an

absolutely delightful garden – wrapped in climbing roses and stylish

Empress trees. There are lots of secretive arbours there too.

Take your picnic basket with you and soak in the atmosphere. But

don’t forget to call before you go. You’ll find the phone number in

this brochure.

The sun drenched white-plastered Bosjökloster (castle) lies in the

heart of Skåne, where the Söderåsen ridge winds its way down

towards Stockamöllan and the lake at Ringsjön. The petals from

the shimmering pink Alba roses vibrate in the lake’s breeze.

Delphiniums, monk’s-hoods and lavender lead you along mellow

lawns towards a beautiful park with a lovers’ path and a thousand

year old oak. Hire a rowing boat at the lake or let the children

loose among the animal enclosures. There’s a restaurant, café and

a picnic spot. Or you can explore inside the castle vaults...

South of Hässleholm, close to the beaches of the Finjasjön lake

you’ll find Hovdala slott (castle) with its beautiful park and

delightful renaissance garden, filled with cultural plants from

times gone by. The castle dates back to the 16th century and is

a national cultural heritage centre. It has an orangery, built during

the 1790s, and in the large stable there is a pleasant shop, delightful

restaurant and café. Yum...

With this brochure in your hand you can revel in gardens, cafés and

nurseries you could only dream about, plus a little bit more.

It’s not just the aroma of roses that surrounds you in Skåne, you’ll smell cows and horses. And the sea. Especially in the areas around Mölle and Kullaberg,

where the light scent of a freshly blossoming beech wood is especially alluring. Not to mention all the wood anemones, yellow wood anemones and lungwort

that change the wild slopes into a veritable Garden of Eden each spring.

Take a trip to Kullaberg The official residence of the Himmels-

torp forest rangers. During midsummer

the most lively roses dazzle you in all

shapes and colours. They grow in large

bushes, climbing up verandas and half-

timbered walls or winding themselves

around the old apple trees. And then you

see the sea. It is the distant blue cove

that appears behind verdant meadows

and paddocks. There’s a little shop here

and you can stay at the Bed & Breakfast

and wake up to a fresh, dewy morning in

the middle of the magnificent country-

side. But call before you go there.

You find the details further on in the

brochure.

In this delightful countryside you

shouldn’t miss the superb Krapperups

slott (castle) and country park.

Krapperup is situated at Nyhamnsläge,

between Höganäs and Mölle. Make

sure you time your visit when the

rhododendrons are in bloom at the end of

May, beginning of June. You can ramble

among the huge rhododendron bushes

behind the red plastered renaissance

castle and be amazed that the back of the

castle is decorated with enormous seven-

pointed chalk stripes in the reddish-

pink brickwork. The coat of arms of the

Gyllenstierna family. The park is home

to so many beautiful old trees and there

are many shaped figures parading around

the castle. There is even a rose garden

and perennial borders. The café offers the

most delicious pastries, cakes and biscuits

you could ever wish for. Look out for

Krapperup’s art exhibitions and concerts.

More gardensThe royal Sofiero slott (castle), with its

famous rhododendron park and delightful

garden is in Helsingborg. Take a trip too

to Fredriksdals museer och trädgårdar

(outdoor museum and gardens). You can

ramble around here for days. Fredriksdal

is Skåne in miniature. We recommend a

visit to Norrvikens trädgårdar (gardens),

a shaped master-work in a beech wood

above Båstad. Every year the great garden

circuit is held in north-west Skåne. The

gates open to lots of exciting private

gardens. Not to be missed!

Exciting castles and magnificent parks

Try a castle tour. Experience everything here from grandiose castle gardens to magnificent parks. You’ll find spellbinding castles in northeast Skåne

such as Maltesholm, Ovesholm, Vittskövle, Trolle-Ljungby and Bäckaskog.

whole family on a tour in northeast Skåne.

Wanås Slottspark (country park), with its

exciting sound displays and sculptures by

internationally famous artists nestling

among hundred year old beech trees, is

located in Knislinge in Östra Göinge. Check

out the infamous Snapphane oak where

many of the Danish Snapphane mercen-

aries are reputed to have ended their days

after being captured by the Swedes...

If you didn’t manage to take food with

you, stop at Denningarums farm at

Östanå just outside Broby. There’s a farm

store with delicacies and food and drink

to order. You can pick your own bouquet

of flowers in the garden and buy freshly

picked vegetables. Children can say hello

to the farm animals and rent canoes.

Opening hours and directions are further

on in this brochure.

Carl von Linné came to Bäckaskog slott

(castle) during his Skåne travels in 1749

and was struck by the magnificent box-

hedge and charming canal that led running

water through the garden. He also found

Exciting castles and magnificent parks

the garden’s setting between the lakes of

Ivösjön and Oppmannasjön exceptionally

beautiful. The stream that ran through

the garden dried up in 1876, the same

year the water level sunk in the lakes.

It’s why the castle’s pier lies abandoned

in the current garden. Today, Bäckaskog

shows off its biblical garden and a large

park with exotic trees. In spring the park

is full of blue anemones. There is a hotel,

restaurant and café at the castle.

Trolle-Ljungby park is formed in the

renaissance style and is partly open to

the public. The castle hosts the remark-

able Ljungby horn and pipe that according

to legend were stolen from the Troll

(goblin) and which previously brought

sorrow and misery to the castle and its

inhabitants. The castle is private, but the

courtyard is open on Wednesdays and

Saturdays during the summer, when you

can see the goblin’s horn and pipe, visible

in one of the windows facing the court-

yard. Vittskövle slott (castle) has one of

the best preserved renaissance gardens in

the Nordic countries, with shaped trees

and bushes. The castle, the largest in

in Skåne.

Drop in on the secret gardens

It’s ”open garden” in Österlen on 1 July. That’s when the gates open to many private, secret gardens. Behind high fences and

green flower beds you’ll hear happy cries and Latin plant names flying like light butterflies over roses and perennials.

Page 9: enchanting gardens

Advice and inspirationIt’s fun walking around “someone else’s”

garden. There are not just lots of lovely

flower beds and plants to look at. You get

to meet the owner of the garden who can

tell you more about his or her plants, and

get lots of valuable tips. Many private

gardens are accessible throughout the

summer. You can find the names and tele-

phone numbers in this brochure. Just call

and find out if the owner is at home.

The most beautiful flower beds thrive

in Mandelmann’s garden in Rörum out-

side Kivik. They are full of angelica and

ball thistle, lamb’s-ears and lilac Allium

balls, hyssop, sapphire sage and the most

tender gypsophila. The greenest water-

cress, orchids and shiny blue Pontederia

grow there. Gardener Gustav Mandelmann

also gladdens his visitors with a cheerful

reel on the violin. Then he leads the great

adventure among the frogs, salamanders,

pigs and chickens for children of all ages

on Sundays throughout the summer.

Ulriksdals trädgård (garden) is in Kivik

with its old, exotic garden and greenhouse

full of Christmas roses and Helleborus.

Drop in on the secret gardens

There is also a shop with English garden

accessories, such as urns and footscrapers.

Simrishamn is a real gem. There is a tour-

ist office in the harbour with thousands

of tips for fun outings.

At Storgatan you can slide into a secret

oasis – Apotekarns trädgård. (The pharm-

acist’s garden). Here you’ll find palms,

olive trees, rosemary and figs between the

half-timbered buildings. Apotekarns has a

plant shop and a café.

Embedded among the softly rolling hills

of Mellby and Grevlunda above Kivik is

Jansro Gård & Ateljé (Farmhouse & Work-

shop). An authentic Skåne farm with beauti-

ful stone paving, a pretty water-lily pond

and a garden conservatory scented with

peach, lavender and honey rose. On the

farm there is also a shop and a small café

plus a dressmaker’s studio.

The wonderful Rosarium is close to the

old Abbey at Ystad. The Rosarium is a fan-

tastic source of inspiration for anyone

wanting to see how old-style roses and

climbing roses appear in all their splend-

our. It is great for tips for your own garden.

types of perennials and just as many other

types of plants. Plus a small, pretty show

garden and café. In Gärsnäs, west of Simris-

hamn, is a show garden inspired by both

classic idioms and gardening traditions

from Skåne. In Haven you can enjoy a stroll

along garden paths edged with pot grown

satinwood and boxwood parterres while

resting your eyes on almond blossoms,

camellias and the walled herbaceous garden.

Fragrant herbs and flourishing veg gardens

Don’t miss the delightful vegetable gardens in southwest Skåne. Tirups herb garden is situated in a grove on the plain outside Staffanstorp and on the island of

Ven you will find Uraniborgs revived renaissance garden. In the heart of Malmö is the old garden that still contains herbs from Henrik Smith’s medicinal writings in 1546.

Time for new discoveriesIf you haven’t seen the vegetable garden

at Katrinetorp, you have missed some-

thing special. It’s a magnificent model

estate connected to a small red country

house on the fringe of Malmö. The vege-

table garden is enormous and one of the

largest in Sweden. It is designed according

to a classic pattern with cross-aisles and

a centre point, filled with lush vegetables,

fragrant herbs, perennials and summer

flowers. At Katrinetorp there is also a

rose garden, a beautiful park with

delightful walking paths and best of all,

an excellent restaurant with the garden’s

own produce on the menu. Another

oasis, Slottsträdgården, is found in

Kungsparken, behind the old Malmöhus

fortress – with colourful perennial flower

gardens, spice and rose garden. It is an

open garden that sells fresh, ecologically

grown vegetables. Slottsträdgården also

has secret green rooms and a garden

where children can plant whatever they

like. The little café sells the town’s most

delicious carrot cake.

Fragrant herbs and flourishing veg gardens

You find Tirups örtagård (herb garden)

in a grove on the plain outside Staffans-

torp between Malmö and Lund. Relax

with a cup of coffee under an apple tree

in the herb garden and study the flower

beds. It’s a place for rest and inspiration.

You find at least 30 types of thyme here.

Tirup also has a nursery and a shop with

a small library of gardening literature.

From Tirups örtagård drive directly to

Lund and the famous Botanical gardens

with 7,000 different species. From Lund

it’s not far to Landskrona and Citadellet

with its fortified ramparts, castle and lots

of nice allotment gardens. You can stroll

around for hours here enjoying the area.

Close too is the Rothoffska museum

colony from 1903 with its small cottage

and lovely garden which Landskrona

lovingly cares for. Plan a trip to the island

of ven and Uraniborg castle’s recon-

structed renaissance garden – originally

created by the famous scientist Tycho

Brahe. The castle is gone but the garden

is blooming.

ulf Nordfjell’s creation is one of the international

gardening world’s foremost. In 2009, he won his

second gold medal and title for being ‘Best in

Show’ at the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show in

London. It was the first time that Sweden won

the award for two consecutive years. Behind the

commissioning of a new garden for Chelsea is the

prominent newspaper The Daily Telegraph. Having

seen ulf Nordfjell’s gold medal garden A tribute

to Linnaeus the year before, the newspaper

wasted no time in commissioning him for this

year’s flower show. Naturally, ulf Nordfjell is both

proud and happy. In his most recent show garden

at the Chelsea Flower Show, ulf Nordfjell tried to

bring together Swedish modernism and traditional

English landscape gardening.

“The garden featured both Scandinavian and

English garden influences; strictly symmetric

and aromatic and resplendent with seductive

fragrances from culinary plants and Swedish

meadow flowers“, describes ulf Nordfjell. His

latest assignments include among other things

the redesigning of Stadsparken (City Park) in

Lund in preparation for Lund’s Centennial Anni-

versary in 2011. ulf Nordfjell has many years

experience in reconstructing and redesigning

parks and recreational areas throughout

Sweden such as Riddarparken and Berzelii Park

in Stockholm, Linköping Garden Society as well

as Gothenburg Garden Society and Botanical

Garden.

A new park is taking shape at the foot of the Turning Torso skyscraper in Malmö.It’s a succinct creation framed in bushes and trees, apostrophized with highblack bows and imaginative islands of flowering perennials and Japanese grass.All created by landscape architect, Ulf Nordfjell.

Skåne’s most beautifulgarden? The countryside.

Page 13: enchanting gardens

of beauty, particularly at night when the

special lighting is a part of the formation.”

Do you have any favourites in Skåne? “It is impossible to pick a specific one.

The entire Skåne countryside is fantastic.

The Dalby Hage National Park is extremely

beautiful. And so is the South-Eastern part

of Skåne called Österlen.”

Which plants inspire you?“I like to move between wild and cultivated.

At the Chelsea Flower Show I go for catsfoot,

bluebells, violets and grasses from the Swe-

dish Northland, while I use two metre high

foxtail lillies as the main attraction. I often

work with public space that requires plants

with a powerful expression. One of my latest

sources of inspiration is the film “Mama Mia!”

and the scene where Meryl Streep dances

around billowing clothes lines in Greece.

Do you know what was hanging there?

Cloth with the most fantastic floral patterns

by Josef Frank! No one can interpret the

Swedish summer like he does.” As a tribute

to the architect and designer Josef Frank,

ulf Nordfjell has redesigned two of his flower-

beds for Millesgården’s Summer Exhibition

2010 (Stockholm).

favourite – The villa Gamberaias renais-

sance garden on the hills above Florence.

An intoxicating experience and a fairy tale

meeting between the disciplined garden

and the wild surrounding countryside. In

renaissance gardens, plants were cut and

shaped to raise the art of gardening to an

intellectual level and to free gardens from

nature’s chaos. Gamberaia has what you

miss in a garden; architecture, design and

the art of gardening that is unified by the

stylistic ideals of renaissance man.”

“Another of my favourite gardens is in the

uSA. It’s the South Coast Plaza in south

California, a modern piazza of stone and

concrete right in the middle of the wild

prairie landscape, created by Isamu Nogucci,

sculptor and architect. It’s a hard landscape

with material from the city’s streets and

buildings that meets the prairie’s grassy

hills in a minimalistic elegance. The Piazza

is dissected by a sunken stream with strea-

ming water. The place is a great experience

Ulf Nordfjell, landscape architect

What will be special in the Western Harbour?“I’m creating a space which all visitors can

enjoy and that can also act as a welcoming

forerunner to Turning Torso. White and pink

cherries blossom among high branching

trees such as beech and ash. There are raised

“islands” with Japanese grass, flowerbeds

and round benches with water among the

hard surfaces. Here will grow perennials

like blue-flowering Lemon Catmint, slender

spars of Perovskian and pink Great Burnet.

Snowdrops and Crown Imperials bloom in

early spring, followed by dark blue Wind-

flowers, Star Hyacinths and Purple

Sensations.”

What role does a garden play in today’s society?“The garden is soon the only place where

people can develop. Now there is an in-

creasing interest in green public spaces.

Everyone wants to join in and enjoy it, but

few want to take care of maintenance. It’s

extremely important to set aside funds to

take care of our green capital.”

What’s your favourite garden? “My own. Is it OK to say so? It’s in the

north-east county of västerbotten, where

I have my roots. It’s a sparsely populated,

deserted landscape filled with scented

forests and flowering pastures. I have the

chance to create something that no-one

else can see. The forests around Tallheden

are the biotops I like most. But I love cont-

rasts and enjoy travelling to Italy and my
