On Thursday March 26th I visited the Nordiska Trädgårdar Garden Fair 2015 at Stockholmsmässan in Älvsjö.

All my images from that visit can be found here.

Nice fair, but too many visitors already the first day.  The hunt for cuttings of pelargonias and other flowers was on all the time. Some of those visitors… ran all over you, pushing, got in the way, apparently afraid that they would miss a bargain.

There were so called idea gardens. I only liked one of those, the one called Hanging Garden by Trendstefan (Stefan Nilsson).

Some had brought in trees from Germany, timed to flower when the fair opened one of the exhibitors told med. They timed it right and the fragrance was lovely.

There were also a balcony competition. I didn’t like any of those balconies… What is the point of a balcony if it is so crowded with things that there is no space left to sit and enjoy outdoors on it?

One of the magazines that were there might have sold lots of subscriptions as every one who bought a subscription got a  bag on wheels with the subscription. Saw those ones all over the place later…

This kind of fair sell things, hats, tools, flowers, cloths… and a lot of other things too.

I bought three things. A plant-lamp with natural light (LED) done particularly to give flowers indoor the right amount of light. And six different herbs. The lamp comes in several different colors and can be found here at Venso Eco Solutions.

No, they are not going to remain on the kitchen table. It is a temporary placement testing the lamp.

I also bought a “plantcage” because I liked it, not because I needed it. Presently hangs in the kitchen window. It has a similarity to the napkin holder I bough years ago. A bit hard to water the plant in the cage though I noticed.
