I remember as a child sitting in the back seat of a car on a family trip through Europe. I looked out the window and was intrigued by the constantly changing landscape; high mountains, deep valleys, north sides and south sides. The further south we went, the appearance of trees and other plants changed. Somewhere here, my interest in the changeability of nature came to life.

In the beginning, it was the great features of the landscape that attracted me to travel around the world. Over time, interest has shifted more to the details, the small brushstrokes, which together paint the bigger picture.

The desire to work outdoors, and to increase my understanding of plants and the environment around me, further led me to become a garden engineer at SLU Alnarp in 2008.

Until now, I have had varying jobs within the garden industry, ranging from large-scale management within the municipality, construction of private gardens to design consultancy on a smaller scale.

Since 2018 I have been employed by Klinta Trädgård AB. Here I’m mostly spending my time working in the nursery propagating plants, collecting seeds etc.

Here at Klinta, with nature as inspiration and the plant in focus, I have the opportunity to work with and at the same time study many, for me, new and exciting plants in detail.
