Group garden visits near Gothenburg
Looking for a memorable destination for your garden club, horticultural society or group tour in Sweden?
Känn Trädgården – The Sensory Garden, offers pre-booked group visits in a unique private garden setting on Sweden’s West Coast, just south of Gothenburg. Combining inspiring garden design, personal storytelling and a warm welcome, the garden has become a popular destination for both Swedish and international garden groups.
Whether you are planning a garden tour of Scandinavia, organising a day trip from Gothenburg or creating a specialised horticultural itinerary, Känn Trädgården offers an authentic and personal garden experience.
A Personal Garden Experience
Unlike large public gardens, Känn Trädgården gives visitors the opportunity to experience a private garden together with its creator.
Garden owner and creator Camilla Danielsson welcomes guests and shares the story behind the garden’s development, design philosophy and planting ideas. Visitors gain insight into the practical and creative processes that have shaped the garden over many years.
The result is an experience that feels personal, inspiring and memorable. Many groups particularly appreciate the opportunity to ask questions, discuss design solutions and exchange gardening experiences during the visit.
