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.”
We, Maria Nilsson and Anette Cato, created the garden in 2014 because we wanted to give people inspiration for their own gardens, and a place to experience the beauty, peace and tranquility of a garden even if you don’t have your own.
We have been planning and making private gardens for over 10 years, and we also hold talks and arrange garden trips to England every year to gather fresh inspiration. To us there is nothing more wonderful than a well-designed, well-cared for and slightly eccentric English garden, and that is what we have tried to recreate here on Österlen.
From 2021 Anette runs the garden herself together with her employees.
Welcome to The English Garden
- an inspiring garden with a touch of England
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
