Created in 1842, the Garden Society of Gothenburg has been an ornamental garden, now restored to its former glory with contemporary additions. Prominent international landscape architects and garden designers with Ulf Nordfjell as the exhibition architect have contributed with permanent new woodlands, floral patterns and rose gardens, with over 2,500 roses. The city’s famous Botanical Garden is a place of beauty and learning with more than 20,000 different species of plants and an award-winning rockery. Visitors are greeted at the new entrance area, also designed by Ulf Nordfjell, by a piazza full of annuals set in stone borders. Just south of Gothenburg in Mölndal is Gunnebo House and Gardens, considered one of the foremost neo-classical country estates in Northern Europe. The house, still with its original furniture, boasts three styles of gardens – kitchen garden, formal garden and landscaped parkland – all managed organically with the certified organic products served at the café.
