Tyra's Garden is a small garden on the island of Resarö situated in the inner part of the archipelago near the small town Vaxholm, outside Stockholm. Tyra's Garden is mostly an ornamental vegetable garden, my potager. But flowers are of course an important ingredience, for beauty and pollination. The climate in these parts is quite demanding as the northerly winds can be strong and cold. THIS BLOG 'Tyra's Garden' is not entirely a gardenblog it contains much more. About me: Enthusiastic amateur gardener and photographer from Vaxholm, Sweden. Designed and built my Greenhouse and Potager in Tyra's Garden 2003. Love the outdoor life, gardening and sailing especially. View my profile

A Greenhouse from Old Windows



A Greenhouse from Old Windows.


An article about my greenhouse written by Stephie McCarthy at Flea Market Gardening. The pictures in the article are from my blog or my book "Året i Köksträdgården"






Welcome to a Winter Garden Tour...

"Resarö, Sweden — North winds blow hard from the Baltic Sea and buffet against the willow fence around Tyra Lindhe’s kitchen garden. Designer, author, and creator of one of the most appealing Internet garden sites since 2006, this January, Tyra is showing visitors around her greenhouse made from vintage windows rescued from an attic in her seacoast town in Stockholm County. An ardent photographer, Tyra delights visitors with views of her cobbles-and-millstone courtyard glowing in the last rays of afternoon sun. Then as night falls, this creative gardener lights white candles in the windows and instantly adds even more enchantment." read more...

December morning

This post " December morning" was originally uploaded by Tyra Hallsénius Lindhe in the blog Tyra's Garden/ Tyras Trädgård


Sunday morning and I'm up before the birds. The house is quiet and I'm on the veranda watching enjoying my morning coffe and the dawn. Isn't just heavenly to watch a pale december sun rising.



I have this little figurine in one of the bedrooms and this morning you was especially pretty as she was standing in the sun among the green ivy. She's actually Swedish, made in Ekeby a very long time ago.



With these two pictures I wish you all a lovely sunday./ Tyra

Wallpainting - I know I'm potty

We planted a seed...
Do you remember my Topiary bedroom, we have had an empty pot on the wall for some years now and a few weeks ago we decided to plant a seed. Look what's come up...an Impomea. It's not full grown yet so we cannot begin to trim it into a Topiary Impomea we have to wait for some months, maybe we can start next spring. (old post Topiarius Tyra)

Himmelskt vackert/Heavenly beautiful

Dimman låg tät i morse men i öster var det lite ljusare, det såg magiskt ut. Först ropade Nica på mej, kom och titta "det är som om det är en magisk öppning därborta, till ett förtrollat land eller nåt liknade" sedan ropade Hubbe som höll på att klä på sig på över våningen. - Kom får du se nåt vackert. Himmelsk vackert. Märk väl det är oktober! (min uschmånad)



A foggy october morning in Vaxholm

Växthuset på Engarn och kronärtkockor

Nu är det dags att börja ta in de frostkänsliga växterna. Jag har lovat Hubbe att inte ockupera garaget i år!Physalis, fikon, citron och kiwi that´s it! Resten får jag ta in till verandan. Jag har tagit in rankspenaten (flera krukor) då har jag alltid lite grönt att klippa ner i vinterns grytor och pajer. Chillie pepparn från Bangkok den skall jag försöka hålla liv i. Jag har flera stycken, de är uppdragna från chillies jag köpte på grönsaksmarknaden i Bangkok. Där köpte jag även en knippe citrongräs som jag fick att gro, oj den måste jag också ta in.

Kronärtskocka i blom


Kocka färdig att skörda.

En stunds vila, en fika i växthuset. Känna värmen och doften.


Ha det bra, TYRA. Skriv en rad, jag vill höra av dej .posttilltyra@hotmail.com
