Design and style from a Scandinavian perspective

Greenhouse admiration

I've been thinking a lot about gardening and plants lately, which isn't like me at all. I grew up in the city, where the thing I appreciated most about Spring was when they sweeped the gravel from the streets so I could use my roller skates... Planting stuff just wasn't a part of my life.
This is my third spring in the house, but this is the first year I have actually planted something in the garden. I guess it took me some time to get used to the thought of having a garden. So far we have a small herb garden, some sweet peas to cover a low crumbling stone wall, and next on the list are some white poppies that I'm really looking forward to. I'm far from thinking of getting a greenhouse, but they sure look good in photos!

The pics below are from the April issue of Swedish Elle Interiör. Photography by Petra Bindel and styling by Tina Hellberg.

    Great inspiration. I'm just planning to build a greenhouse from old windows. A recycled guesthouse from top to bottom is what I want! Thanks for the pictures.

    Oh Sweet Peas. Love them. Do you know about vertical gardens, where you plant herbs and other plants in little fabric pockets and hang them on walls.

    Love the pictures. Wish I had a green thumb, spring makes me sneeze. But I could build a greenhouse.
