I Made a Gardening Magazine
As you might have seen in the masthead carousel, I added a link to a gardening magazine that I made for my gardening society Blomsterodlingensvänner i Finland rf. It has been keeping me busy, so the development of this site has been on the down low. But, it has been fun to do some new things and develop other skills. There are a lot of my pictures and text in the magazine and all the layout and technical solutions are by me, but of course a few other talented speakers, writers and photographers contributed. It was a pleasure to to work with their material. The cover picture, as well as a…

Friend Support
The weather is almost as horrible as it’s in November, so when my friend shared some pictures she took in the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens last week they cheered me up quite a bit! It’s lovely with friends like her, thanks HS! Kun sää on ollut lähes yhtä kamala kuin marraskuussa, on todella kiva että minulla on sellaisia kavereita jotka ilokseni postaavat ihania kuvia Brooklynin kasvitieteellisestä puutarhasta! Kaverini HS kuvasi ne viime viikolla ja ne piristivät kummasti, suuret kiitokset! Vi har haft nästan novemberlikt fasligt väder så när en av mina bästa vänner delade med sig av härligt våriga bilder från Brooklyns botaniska trädgård från förra veckan så piggade de upp…

Garden Glory
Garden Glory or to be more exact Gloria Garden (in Finnish: Gloria puutarha), the magazine, was published today. The Glory part is that the magazine features 34 pages by me and my colleague and fantastic garden photographer Hanna Marttinen! There is a 10 page story about me and my kitchen garden and 3 other stories about some really interesting gardens and gardeners. I really recommend buying an issue 😉 Tänään ilmestyi upouusi ja hieno Gloria puutarha-lehti. Omasta näkökulmastani on hienoa että lehdessä on minun ja loistavan puutarhavalokuvaajan ja hyvän ystäväni ja työtoverini Hanna Marttisen tuotantoa peräti 34 sivun verran! Lehdessä on 10 sivun juttu keittiöpuutarhastani ja kolme muuta juttua hienoista…

I’m Gardening on TV
I got a call yesterday and was asked to be on the Swedish speaking morning show Min Morgon. They were interested in current gardening tasks. It’s still very much winter here so it was either repotting, growing herbs indoors or starting plants from seed. I went with the two latter. I you are in Finland or use a VPN service like the ones my expat friends like you can see the show here until the 24th of February. I’m on at 14:40 minutes in and babble away for the next ten minutes. EDIT: You can’t see it anymore Minua pyydettiin eilen mukaan FST:n Min Morgon aamu-ohjelmaan. Heitä kiinnostivat ajankohtaiset puutarhatoimet.…

Garden Style
I was recently asked to be in the Finnish fashion magazine Gloria, in a feature where different people present their own style. Naturally a lot of my style, in the way I dress and decorate, has been influenced by my gardening interest. Mostly I’d say in terms of color, but perhaps also in terms of a certain stark simplicity that I appreciate in various objects. Gloria is a very nice magazine so it was an honor to be asked to appear. I think this is a suitable moment to reveal that I’ll also get in to detail about my kitchen garden in a special publication that is called Glorian puutarha…
