I recently moved to Denmark to live with my husband, and our first place is a small apartment in a basement where there is almost no light, and since it’s in the middle of the city we have very little garden space (only a raised bed that I bought that fit on the terrace), so I’m finding it hard to cultivate a garden – and to find what herbs and plants I want to prioritize in my raised bed. However, I’ve been really excited to be able to explore the wild plants that are in Danish forests because a lot of them I didn’t have before. So it’s not technically in my garden, but it’s what is available in my environment.
So far I’ve been foraging stinging nettles, chamomile, dandelion, rose petals and rose hips, elderflower, st-John’s wort, and yarrow. I’m looking forward to exploring more and discovering what grows naturally here.

I relate to the moving part! It feels very good and grounding to connect to the surrounding nature. I do the same 🙂

Wow! That is a beautiful garden! I agree, what a blessing to have such an abundant space. Your garden sounds like a dream, and it touches me that so much can be given by nature.
