We are driving slowly towards Stockholm taking 2 days so that we confirm in some gardens on the way. First stop is at Helsingborg where there is a lovely garden donated to the people by King Gustav VI who created the garden with his wife Crown Princess Marguerite, granddaughter of Queen Victoria. She died young but was greatly loved by the Swedes and at the entrance to the gardens stand four huge tubs of daisies, her signature flower. / Photo 1.
Typical gardeners, we spread out over the gardens each intent on looking at their favourite thing. I headed for the vegetables / photo 2 and concluded they are very good - except that it's time to pick the lettuces / photo 2.
It's a very personal garden, still planted with CP Margeurite's colour schemes - beds of hot oranges, reds and purples; ' beds of cool pastel colours and a primrose valley.
After morning tea from the coach we headed off in search of moose.
