Slottsträdgården, Community garden near Malmöhus Castle, Sweden.
Slottsträdgården is a large community garden divided into several distinct sections in northern Malmö. Within it are vegetable beds, fruit trees, rose plantings, perennial displays, and a Japanese garden area.
The site began in 1994 when local gardeners converted a former municipal tree nursery at the fortress into a public green space. This transformation established a lasting community resource.
The garden serves as a gathering place where neighbors exchange knowledge about growing food and plants sustainably. You see people working together throughout the year, each section reflecting shared care and attention.
The site is best visited during spring and summer when plants are in growth and the seasonal café operates. You can walk freely through the areas, purchase fresh produce and plants, or simply spend time observing the work.
The garden operates through a private club management system that helps preserve its ecological principles and organization. This structure allows the community to shape the space according to its own values and practices.
