Öland is Sweden's smallest landscape, with a unique combination of natural conditions for gardeners.
On this long island there is a fascinating variety of different types of green rooms and gardens. In the new book Öländska trädgårdsrum, garden journalist Gunnel Carlson and photographer Emmi Roosling visit around twenty places around Öland, both private and public. Places that are worth stopping and enjoying a little extra. In addition to an insight into the gardens, we also get to take part in its history, the gardeners' growing tips and green curiosities through the ages.
- It's really just when you reach the top of Öland's bridge that the real journey begins, when the whole island lies in front of you like a single long green ribbon. What has struck me the most as I drive around is how quickly the view changes – from barren and windswept to lush and green, from deciduous forest fluttering to pine forest calm, from rolling meadows to solid rock underfoot. It is exciting to discover Öland's different faces, says Gunnel Carlson.
