We are incredibly fortunate here in denmark because of the fantastic natural variation of the seasons. We are surrounded by ocean on all sides and we also have forests, moors, lakes and streams, which contribute in each their own way to a rich and abundant fl ora. The seasons in Denmark are very different and each has fabulous qualities.
summers are green and alive, while the evenings are long and light. only rarely does it get suffi ciently hot for grass and fl owers to singe from the sun. rain is no seldom visitor during summer in denmark and for this reason everything stays green and lush.
Autumn has its charms with dead leaves in red, orange and yellow hues. The woods look almost on fi re. The days can still be mild and they invite nature treks, where the last perfumes of the summer fl owers can be inhaled.
Winter in denmark can be a rather cold affair. Temperatures can drop to well below freezing and blizzards can shut down all traffi c, close schools and keep people indoors for days on end. This is great for the children, as they get a day off playing on the slopes with their sleds.
But out of all the seasons, the one that we always welcome above all others is spring. Spring in Denmark must be experienced fi rst hand. Spring is a welcomed guest after a winter, which often times has been long. It seems as if spring has been playing hide and seek and suddenly the snow has melted and a fabulous fl ora erupts from the hard ground. The forest fl oors are blooming with anemones and private gardens abound with tulips, easter lilies and other colourful bulb fl owers. The beech trees come into leaf, all crisp, pretty and bright green, harbouring the promise of lighter days ahead. Another sure sign that spring has arrived are the many fruit trees in full fl ower, such as apple, pear, cherry and plum. And all carry lovely blooms in white or a delicate shade of pink.
FruIT Trees In Bloom

It is our good fortune to be surrounded by fruit trees. This lead to an outdoor fruit-tree-day: the first day of spring, where we could walk barefoot in sandals. The blooms do not last terribly long once they have been cut, but what does that matter when there is an abundance of them? We dragged our lawn furniture out of winter hibernation, dusted it off and filled it with soft cushions and blankets. We shopped a spring layer cake at the local bakery: a meringue-coffee fantasy, which was the perfect indulgence in these surroundings.
Simple and EvocativeClusters of flower are a super quick way of setting a mood. Fill a dish or a centrepiece up with water and let the small flowers float. Cut the flower branches to the desired length and fill up a basket or a pitcher. Here, a flower cluster has been added to each plate as a nice floral place setting, while the chandelier-arms have been fitted with little branches full of blooms. These are the rites of spring.
