The garden started as a horticultural school in the 1860s on land beside Rosendal palace and has been run since 1982 as a biodynamic garden and foundation. It works: vegetable beds, herb borders, a rose garden, an orchard of old Swedish apple varieties, and long greenhouses where the cafe puts its tables among the plants. The kitchen bakes in a wood oven and cooks largely from the beds outside, which is the reason most people come, and there is a shop selling plants and produce. Picking your own from marked rows is possible in season. It is a working garden, so parts are closed off as they are cultivated.
What you actually see
- Beds, borders and an old-variety orchard - the working garden.
- Greenhouse tables among the plants - where the cafe seats people.
- A wood-fired bakery - the kitchen's main output.
- Pick-your-own rows in season - marked areas only.
When to go
May to September; the garden is bare and the cafe reduced in winter. Two hours.
Honest expectations
Summer weekends bring long queues at the cafe. Prices are high. Winter opening is limited and the garden is dormant. It is a walk from the tram.
Nearby
Rosendal palace is next door; Skansen is west.
