One of the many charming garden houses in Södra Tantolunden.
Yesterday on my bike ride, I cycled around the garden houses in Södermalm. The Kolonia Södra Tantolunden is an area of hillside garden plots that allows city dwellers to have a little piece of land to garden.
Another version of a garden plot.
Spring flowers in bloom.
As you wander around the narrow lanes between the houses, you find miniature houses and gardens of all sorts. It’s a peaceful oasis in the middle of the city and being there was just what I needed to unwind after a stressful day.
The last I checked, the wait was about 50 years to get one of the places in Tantolunden. Since it’s not likely I will wait that long for one, it’s good to just walk around the alleys. Lilacs are in bloom everywhere and the newly green grass and tulips are stunningly beautiful just now.
This house is higher up on the hillside.
Red picket fences surround the plots.
I like the Swedish falu rödfarg - a traditional red paint color – on this house.
