In the garden there is a total of about 5 000 dahlia plants with an enormous display of colour. The display is open from August to September, see our opening hours above. 

Tulip and Narcissus showcase

Tulips, narcissus and other spring bulbs from our selection bloom in the greenhouse and the garden during different times during the spring in a total of 400 different kinds. First out are snowbells, crocus and scilla that may be overbloomed once we open if the spring is early. After that blooms hyacinths, early small narcissus and early tulips and then the bigger tulips and narcissus. We will try to spread out the blooming period of the potted bulbs in the greenhouse. The potted bulbs are for sale and can be planted for future joy. The flowers in the garden will be available for self-picking with or without bulbs.
