Today is the Nordic event of Wild Flowers’ Day. Originating in Denmark, the purpose is to give people the possibility of finding, learning about and enjoying the diversity of wild plants in nature, in order to have an even more intense experience when spending time outdoors.

Det samnordiska evenemanget ”De vilda blommornas dag” har sina rötter i Danmark, där det har arrangerats ända sedan år 1988. Syftet med de vilda blommornas dag är att människor skall få möjlighet att upptäcka, lära känna och glädjas åt den mångfald av vilda växter, som vår natur bjuder på, och på så sätt få en rikare naturupplevelse.

 

This event started at 10 a.m and the flower walk, arranged by local botanists, lasted for three hours. I’ll be happy to bring you along! For more events, click here.

A nice lunch at the restaurant and then a stroll in the beautiful surroundings was perfect for my mother’s 81st birthday.

The conservatory has been restored over the years, and is now a building used for exhibitions as well as wedding  ceremonies.
