We are proud to present our collaboration with Carl Larsson House where we have developed two boxes with seeds inspired by Carl and Karin Larsson. Carl Larsson House in Sundborn is an icon of Swedish interior design and family life. For over a hundred years, the artist Carl Larsson has inspired garden enthusiasts with his images of the idyllic Swedish garden.

We chose to create a flower bed after seeing Karin’s beautiful flower beds in Carl’s many artworks. We also believe that the Larsson family grew a lot of flowers to create a beautiful and inspiring environment. Nasturtium was grown extensively and was always found outside the entrance to the house. We have chosen to include an easy-to-grow variety that blooms in the same colours as it did at the family home.

One painting that caught our eye was ‘Brita. A cat and a sandwich’ where one of the daughters is standing in front of a house wall and in the background you can see stately and tall sunflowers. This made us think of Swedish summer and the great family life we all love to share in the garden. So it was a no-brainer to include a tall sunflower in this box, perfect for growing with the kids.

The box contains 5 seed bags:
Sunflower – Giganteus
Cornflower – White Ball
Nasturtium – Orange Gleam
Cosmos – Picotee
Chamomile
