A beautiful private garden in Sweden

I have long admired a small private garden in the coastal town of Höganäs in southwestern Sweden. Today, when I visited Höganäs, I took these photos of the magical garden for you to enjoy:






PS
From a Swedish gardening blog I found out that this garden belongs to artist (painter) Simon Arne. When Arne and his family moved into the house in 1982, he began planting boxwood cuttings, which he had acquired from several Swedish castle and manor gardens (there are many of them in southern Sweden!). First he had cut the boxes into different figures, but soon he found out that rounded shapes were more suited for the relatively small garden.
