What I did today Part 2 the garden show

 On the way home for work a few week ago I saw this 

Those looking closely can see it's held at slottsträdgården which is part of the same park as slottsparken. I would like to say that not everything in malmö happens there but it's hard to argue since I'm kind of three for three so far. 

Anyway it sounded interesting and I had nothing better to do.

At least I thought so until I realized there was a general garage sale held in my neighborhood. It was the usual clothes, decorations, kid stuff etc. but most important it gave me a chance to look at the other courtyards on the street. The courtyards looked very similar to mine but I did find an usb drive still in its original packaging. Not very interesting but its on my to do list for a work thing. 

And then onwards to the garden show. Turned out it was mostly a fair but for plants, some produce from local companies, and garden tools.

Got to try sauerkraut which i have wanted to mostly because meant to be good for you. Having now tried it I've decided that it's not for me, but at least now I know don't have to buy a jar just to throw it away.

There were also Lectures about gardening and sustainability. I'd originally planned to mostly listen to the lectures and not buy anything. This is mostly because I as an apartment dweller have neither garden nor balcony and so have no place for more plants or use for a scythe.

However I didn't actually en up watching any of the lectures there were never any interesting ones starting when I came past and none that I feel like waiting for.

On the other hand I did end up buying things.

Lilac ice cream (it was a very warm day), and polish spinach pierogi. All eaten sitting on the ground because all the benches were taken. Also a pot of decorative grass for my cat Mischka.

The actual garden show featured a number of miniature gardens and balconies it was all part of some kind of competition. I could probably have found out what that was about but I didn't feel like it so you won't know either. Anyway they were all pretty or weird or pretty weird. My favorite entry in the balcony section mostly because it looks like something I might have liked to have.

There was also a weird... aquarium balcony? I don't know what it was but I had to take a picture and I liked how they had used Snake Plant to look like seaweed.

In the garden part my favorite was this little Japanese garden. You can't see it in the picture but there were patterns raked into the gravel. It also had a miniature model version with a tiny bonsai tree.

There were plenty others a desert landscape with a bubble greenhouse, a garden of only purple or yellow flowers and much more but there's a limit to how many pictures I want to include here so this will have to be enough.
