The love of nature runs deep with the Swedes, so it's no surprise that the capital ranks among the top cities in the world in terms of green space. The huge Tantolunden Park in the southwest of the island of Södermalm, near Zinkensdamm and Hornstull, is a perfect example of the harmony between city life and abundant nature in Stockholm. During an exotic walk, this park dominated by large rocks plunges us into the heart of a very Swedish tradition: garden subdivisions, known as workers' or family gardens, and their adorable little wooden cottages. A real pleasure to stroll between the paths to admire these small constructions nestled between the trees and the superb vegetable gardens.
Begin a short walk from Zinkensdamms IP to Tantolunden, Södermalm’s historic park with its scenic allotment gardens. Stroll among quaint cottages and lush plots, a legacy of urban greenery. Let me show you 3 different gardens and their beauty. In the late 19th century, many rural dwellers were forced to move to the cities in order to make a living. However, wages were low and they often found themselves unable to make ends meet. Being able to grow food on an allotment meant that many people were able to put more food on the table. The allotment movement came to Sweden at the turn of the last century, and has since been run in the form of associations with members who are allocated plots of land. The first Swedish allotment associations were established in Landskrona in the 1890s, based on German and Danish models, and came to Stockholm in 1906.
