While Scandinavia may be far from home, it can be a great source of inspiration when planning a stunning outdoor space. And what better place to start than choosing plants that perfectly capture the Nordic aesthetic?
'If you’re looking to create a garden with that effortless, natural beauty often found in Scandinavian landscapes, the key is to embrace simplicity, texture, and plants that thrive in the northern climate,' says Emilie Bausager, a Danish-British garden designer. 'Think soft, muted tones, relaxed yet structured planting, and species that can handle a bit of neglect while still looking beautiful year-round.'
