    Description

    The family you see at the picture are all connected to the house but not in the house all the time, they come and go. Steady in the house all the time are only Anna (the mother in the photo) and her mother, Ulla.
    Eco gardening in a beautiful old garden and farmhouse in a nature reservation area on the border of the National Park of Söderåsen in south Sweden.
    We live close to a lot of interesting cultural places such as old castles and the cities of Malmo and Copenhagen.
    This summer we are also repairing doors and fixing windows in the old fashioned traditional and eco way. You can learn a lot about that.
