Bright sunshine and many happy faces could be seen everywhere in the park at Söderlångvik Manor on Saturday 27 May, when we welcomed the summer by celebrating Blossom Day. A big and warm thank you to all the partners and participants in the programme, and of course to all the visitors!

Many thanks to our creative visualises Pia Holm and Petra Barre-Cygnel, also known from Västanfjärds “Esters blomhage”, for this and much more during the Blossom Day!
