Gardening

I graduated from the College of Biodynamic Gardening at Skillebyholm, Järna, in 2013.

I have been working as a gardener since 2005 in different parks, gardens and farms in Stockholm, Södertälje and Järna.

Millesgården

​

Millesgården is an art museum and sculpture garden, located on the island of Lidingö, outside Stockholm. It is located in the grounds of the former home of Swedish sculptor Carl Milles (1875-1955).

I worked here during the seasons 2005-2008, and my tasks were: care and maintenance of the horticultural areas and stone surfaces, raking gravel paths and cleaning, repair of subsidence in paved walkways, complete renovation of a wooden facade on the artist's home. Responsible for the fountain: preparation and care before and after the season, operation during the season. Responsible for studio garden and the enclosed hot compost and garden compost.
