I was literally knee deep in a mixture of compost and manure when my calendar reminded me Paris fashion week was about to kick off.
I had left a two decades long international career in fashion and photography to retrain as a gardener and not a single cell in my body would trade places in that moment, and no moment since. That’s when I knew I was on the right path.
When I in 2020 got to intern at Klintaträdgård the last pieces fell into place. Working with plants and the landscape with Peter and Julia was a real breakthrough.

Work is dirty, sweaty and hard, and quite the opposite of glamorous (in fairness oftentimes also true of the fashion business) but it’s also utterly rewarding creating spaces of beauty where people can recharge, be inspired and simply be in awe of the magic of nature, all while contributing to biodiversity, getting to be outdoors and be physical, it’s a feeling that can’t be beaten by much.

Now the greenest addition to Klinta Trädgård my work is mainly divided between the nursery and on the road bringing our different planting projects to life.
