    We went to this park in Sweden to enjoy the huge lawns, long bordes and the art. Most of the artwork is made in the classical sense of art, but there were a few novelties too. Here are a few samples, both from the idea garden and the park itself:

    Will you be stealing any of these ideas Droopy? Thanks for posting. Love the grass sheep(?).

    You're welcome. The sheep are moss, and they are very well made too. :D

    I want to implement some of the ideas but have to make them in a much smaller scale. Either that or find myself 100+ acres somewhere. :D

    OO lovely even more piccies to enjoy!! :-D I'm impressed by the way they've sculpted the moss to make those sheep and the 'Rudolph' in your blog. I must tell my son about Rottneros next time he's over in Sweden. I'm sure, if he has the time, he'd love to visit the gardens and see them for himself. I'm off to see more in your garden section.

    I think we pottered about in there for five hours at least. :D They also had plants for sale, but since we would be gone for at least two more weeks I had to leave them. :( There's a limit to how long a plant will keep alive in the shower cabinet of our camper.
