KARIN BOYE


The sculpture of the much loved poet and author Karin Boye stands to the left of the Gothenburg City Library.

Usually someone has stuck flower in her left hand, a loving act by one of the many touched by the poetry of this author. She died 1941, when only 32 years old.

Her futuristic (Brave New World-like) novel Kallocain is worth looking into.

CARPET BEDDING



Carpet bedding is a mass planting of low, mostly foliage plants in patterns that resemble the designs in Oriental carpets. It was a popular style of planting in Victorian public gardens but is rarely seen today except at the Garden Society in Gothenburg where the Victorian tradition was brought back in 2008.
