Senses is a charming, privately owned garden that feels like a secret paradise. It's a dream brought to life by Birgitta, with the help of Marcus, whose exceptional talent as a designer and gardener has created this oasis of scents, sights, and serenity nestled in the picturesque Åland archipelago. Though still young, Senses is on an ambitious journey to become the finest garden in Finland.
Throughout the year, the garden offers a series of seasonal highlights:
In spring, prepare to be amazed by what might just be Finland's most spectacular bloom. Summer brings an impressive array of flowers: peonies, roses, lavender, lilies, and a variety of perennials paint the landscape in vibrant colors. When autumn arrives, the garden puts on a breathtaking display, a final, colorful farewell to the season. Beyond its beauty, the garden is a haven for relaxation and reflection. It's the perfect spot to unwind, whether you're a nature enthusiast or simply looking for a peaceful escape. The Åland archipelago itself is a stunning backdrop, with its unique blend of Scandinavian and Baltic influences, offering visitors a taste of both worlds.
