From north to south in the elongated country of Sweden there is a garden tradition with roots in the common European cultural heritage. The Swedish garden art is rather informal and has a lot of inspiration from Nature. Shaped forms in combination with floral passion give the Swedish garden a unique and natural characteristic.

The Swedish parks that were established in the mid-1800s have helped create the beautiful recreational experiences that today exist in the very middle of our urban cities. City Head Gardeners and Foundations who care for their gardens and parks develop new modern concepts together with landscape-architects, artists and citizens.

 

Swedes have a strong passion for gardening and nature. Both private and public parks are every year open to thousands of visitors.

 

Today, the great public gardens have a forum, the newly formed Swedish Society of Public Parks and Gardens. The Society aims to strengthen, develop and communicate knowledge about the Swedish Garden Heritage that includes the great variety of landscape from the clearings of the northern forest to the formal Palace gardens of the south.
