I learned there was an English Garden in Kivik, about 100 kilometers from here…and I just had to go.
One of my favourites, the Rudbeckia in all its autumn glory.
Who can resist this?
Thursday Thoughts – The English Garden in Kivik

I absolutely love the photos! I have a great camera, too. And I love taking photos, but your pictures of those flowers are just, wow!
Thank you so much – how great you love taking photos too! Keep going!
Wow! All of these photos are amazing❤️😊
Thank you kindly!
Looks like a lovely place to wander and enjoy
It really was!
Without seeing the whole of the garden it is difficult to understand the reason behind the name, but roses and those herbaceous perennials are very much part of an English cottage garden, and maybe the planting reflects that more in the spring and summer. Only one way to find out A-C, you will need to return!
Haha, yes, I wondered as well what the criteria was…but I guess summer would have explained it better. Lots of English roses though, and a lovely walk among summers’ last beauties.
Not sure why this is specifically an English garden, unless they call it that because of the roses? That opening yellow one is a stunner!
I really don’t know, Sarah – but thought it must be the roses – and the smooth paths and pond maybe. It was a lovely visit anyway.
Well, a rather nice find
It was a lovely walk with the last of summer’s treats. Even a little pond.
Good!
What a wonderful garden, dear Ann-Christine.
All the best

Thank you – maybe not very English, but it had lovely English roses!
So beautiful Ann-Christine!
The last traces of summer!
😊
That’s a lovely garden. Whether it’s truly English in inspiration is a different question.
I have to say, I’m in agreement, Margaret. A lovely find, all the same….
🙂
Lovely, yes, but I don’t know about English. Maybe the roses and the soft paths? The little pond and the many trees?
Maybe. But the shape of the building, and the topiary was not typically English.
Ok.
I love English gardens 🙂
Nice pictures !
Have a lovely day.
Thank you – you too! Rainy here though…
Wow, fabulous, Anne-Christine. Did they have a retail nursery there so you could buy some of those funky looking succulents?
They did! It was a lovely walk even if the garden was very small. Sunny day, which makes for more joy.
Enjoy it while you can, AC.
❤
Very beautiful, it’s always nice to discover something new
It is – and the last flowers still lovely.
Simply beautiful!
Thank you!
Lovely !!!!

So beautiful!
Thank you!
This is wonderful A-C I love those succulents at the end and want want want. My resistance was drained at the start ❤
♥ I love those ones too – but otherwise it was just a lovely garden. Don’t know what really was so English about it!
Maybe it was a copy of a famous English garden designer? Were the plants all varieties found in Scandinavia?
I don’t know, Brian, and the plants hade no name plates. A bit disturbing. A lovely walk anyway.
Thanks Glad it was a lovely stroll around 🙂 🙂
Me neither!
English roses, of course!
Like me! Ha ha 🤣💕
