Just like you have different rooms in your house for different things to do, Muséhagen has different areas for different plants! Some areas have plants that come in spring, others in the fall. Some places are also warmer than others, for the plants that prefer a warmer spot to grow.
As you may have guessed, this is the oldest part of Muséhagen! Here you can see Brunchorsts creativity in full life still, who wanted all the flowerbeds and lawns shaped like hearts and kidneys. Guess how old the some of the biggest trees near the gate are! Are you done guessing? The answer is: 200 YEARS OLD! If you want to pretend you are in a jungle, you may want to check out the bamboo bed!
Cosying up to the museum walls you find the rock bed! Here you can find a HUGE collection of herbs from all around the world! Plants that grow here really like heat, and this spot is the best place for that! Here you can also find a rhododendron that was planted almost a 100 years ago! It has been blossoming every year since!
If you are lucky, you can find lots of vegetables here in the fall. The food that is grown here is not harvested though, so with time, it might attract a lot of bugs who like rotten vegetables. Do you like bugs?
The herb bed is as you might have guessed, full of herbs. Here you can taste and smell and explore loads of herbs! Try rubbing some mint leaves gently and then smell your fingers!
This plant bed contains Meadowsweet, hops, wineplants among others. This spot is the one I like the most about the kitchen garden :the bench surrounded by vines! You should try it!
I love buzzing around here, because sometimes they have sunflowers nearby! Have you ever seen vegetables grow? It might take a while, but here you have the chance! Potatoes, squashes, cabbages are just a few of the vegetables that grow here.
This plant bed grows plants that can color your clothes!
Oh no, look out! This bed has berries that can look tempting to eat, but they are actually poisonous. This plant bed is strictly for looking, no touching or tasting or you might get very, very sick!
The Medieval Garden is home to old middleage plants. Also, right in the middle of it is a walnut tree! Have you ever seen one? Last summer I saw the people working here gather 30 liters of walnuts from it! Another tree you can see here is the Heart-tree. It is called that because of its heart shaped leaves. You should take one home if you can find one, put it inbetween books to make it flat and give it to someone you care about! A fun fact is that the leaves smell like burned sugar in the fall. This is why they call the treee kak tre in Sweden, meaning cake tree.
Have you ever seen so many rhododendrons in one place before? I think this might be my favourite spot in the whole garden in the summer. So many flowers, in so many colours, everywhere!! Can you spot the great big oak that grows here?
The Alpine Garden was built in 1955. This spot is special because it has soil that contains loads of sand in it, for the plants that love that kind of thing. This area has flowers all year round, which makes me a very happy bee!
Some years back, untill 1970, the gardeners that took care of Muséhagen used to live in this house with their families! They also used to boil animal bones that was to be used inside the museum here!
Do you like cherries? I LOVE them! Well, mostly the flower. If I get all the flowers, you can have all the cherries, okay? This place is called The Cherry Hill because of all the cherry trees on it. How old do you think these trees are? Take a guess! Are you ready for the answer? They are over 90 years old! The best time to sit under these trees is in may, when they are in full bloom. You might even see me there then!
