Historical gardens in Lofoten
The remains of several historical gardens have been found in Lofoten, these dating particularly from the time when the owners of the fishing villages were flourishing economically.
Some of these gardens have been selected to be restored and opened to the public. We wanted to show the old perennials that have survived in Lofoten and also how the gardens were laid out in exposed districts.
5 gardens were chosen, ranging from the east to the west of the Lofotens, and over a 4-year period (2004-2008) they were registered and worked on. Also a small "onion garden" has been established. This is representative of Viking times and a forerunner of our kitchen gardens.
These gardens will be signposted and opened to the public in the course of 2009.
