Friday Fences - A Swedish Garden

Strangely enough, this rather homely vegetable garden fence is on the grounds of a rather grand family estate in southern Sweden, Lofstad Slott. I think this is a variation of wattle fencing where supple branches are woven together to make different fence designs.

And then a bonus photo of this small cottage to the left of the garden. The red paint is quite typical of southern Sweden because the paint is made from local minerals like iron oxide.


Friday Fences is a new meme hosted by my good blog friend Janis at Life According to Jan and Jer . Go there to sign up or check out the fences shared by other players.

    A lot of work went into making that fence. It's almost a work of art!

    I like the wattle fencing. I wonder how sturdy it is?

    I like that it looks like they used fallen branches to make the fence. Re-using creatively.
