In 2016 the garden was awarded Simrishamn’s Council's Architectural Prize for “a fascinating and stylish garden with lots of flower-power and various inspiring, attractive and memorable parts.”
The garden was created in 2014 by Maria Nilsson and Anette Cato and opened to the public in 2015.
To us there is nothing more wonderful than a well-designed, well-cared for and slightly eccentric English garden, and we wanted to recreate some of that here on Österlen.
We hope that our garden can serve as inspiration and a place to experience the beauty, peace and tranquility of a garden even if you don’t have your own.
From 2021 Anette runs the garden herself together with her employees.
Welcome to The English Garden
- an inspiring garden with a touch of English Arts&Crafts
A romantic and charming garden with lots of flower-power
The English Garden is filled to the brim with a large variety of plants and flowers in carefully combined colour schemes. There are many different “rooms”, each one with its own character and atmosphere, designed to give the visitor a varied and interesting experience and plenty of ideas to take home.
The garden takes its inspiration from English gardens and contains double perennial borders, a rose garden, woodland with a pond and a shade house, a cottage garden and a kitchen garden. There are many cute little buildings including a greenhouse, gazebo, a unique cottage and an old ice-house.
There are plenty of benches strategically placed for visitors to enjoy the best views while resting their feet.
In our plant shop you can buy many different types of English Austin roses, a selection of herbaceous perennials that we have planted in the garden, dahlias, pots, plant supports etc.
If you are a large group please contact us for your booking well in advance on info@denengelskatradgarden.se
