Life in Norway Show Episode 26: Originally from the UK, Paule Miller talks about gardening culture in Norway and shares some tips for getting started year-round.

Three years ago he set up a gardening business to further pursue his lifelong hobby, and it's gone from strength to strength. We talk about gardening culture in Norway, what grows well here, and how people can get started even if they live in an apartment. Gardening culture in Norway Paule believes there is a culture of gardening here but it's more with the older generation. “The younger generation seem to like to build the biggest possible house on the available land, which leaves very modest surroundings that doesn't have the potential for a nice garden.” “There are some very nice gardens here, and even local growers. It was a very big shock to me when I found out that someone locally had the knowledge and was breeding rhododendrons together.” Full show notes: https://www.lifeinnorway.net/episode26
