Meet our Green Rebels

Jens from Helsingborg

Jens is a passionate home gardener and cook who likes to make everything from scratch in the kitchen. He has grown in his small backyard in pallet collars and in pots on the kitchen steps, but lacks his own herbs for his cooking. Jens enjoys experimenting with growing, both out in the yard and inside his kitchen windows. This year he is extra keen to focus more on growing and creating a green oasis with both herbs and vegetables, to get even more fresh ingredients into his cooking.

Anna from Skövde

Here we have Anna who lives in a rented apartment in Skövde with a small patio and has just started to explore the calming effect of gardening. In her everyday life she is a teacher, band member, mother and volunteer, but she also has a thousand other irons in the fire. Gardening has become an important activity for finding peace of mind and a way to unwind.

She has previous experience growing strawberries and also has a small area where she has planted flowers. Now she wants to take her interest a step further and create a small herb garden and develop her cultivation with more edible plants.

Linn from Rödeby

Linn is a gardener, teacher and gardening enthusiast. She works with gardens both as an entrepreneur and as a teacher in forestry, soil and animals. Not a beginner but not a gardening professional either – just a real enthusiast who loves to get people to dare to try. "Take a chance, don't make a fuss about it!" is her motto, both at work and at home. This year there will be pots facing south, tomatoes, chili and something fun for and with the kids – maybe melon!

Malin Fredrika from Kristinehamn

Here we have a punk-loving Green Rebel who is an illustrator and artist. Malin Fredrika lives in an apartment with a glassed-in balcony in Kristinehamn. She would like to bring more cultivation into her life. With an interest that alternates between passion and experiment, she loves to grow in pots and does it a little on volleyball – and preferably together with her 5-year-old daughter who she loves to "plant" with (i.e. get dirty with soil 😊 ).

Mikael from Rättvik

Mikael is not only a curious Green Rebel, he is also a chef and has a great passion for both cooking and growing. In 2025 he will start growing his own chili and tomatoes on his balcony to use in his dishes. In addition to food and growing, Mikael loves to take photos and edit photos.

Angelica and Andreas from Eskilstuna

Yay. A cool Green Rebel couple. Angelica and Andreas have recently bought a plot of land in Eskilstuna and have big plans for their new farming journey. They are beginners in farming but with a burning interest in slow living, nature and creating something of their own. Together with Angelica's two children and their cats, they are looking forward to learning how to grow everything from vegetables to fruits and flowers. They dream of creating a witchy herb garden that they can use in their cooking.

The bus from Stockholm

Here we have Bixen who now lives in Stockholm. Punk changed his life and he has played in several bands. Now he has more instruments than ever but plays less than before. He shares a small apartment and a tiny balcony with Sarri and Ovidi (two wonderful cats from Skåne) and with Lucy (a Labrador Retriever who speaks both Swedish and Mongolian). This year Bixen will focus on growing Chili and Basil.

Cecilia from Mora

Cecilia lives in an apartment in Mora with a balcony, south-facing windows and a green area where she has her little grow room. She has a great interest in plants and likes to document them, and now she wants to try growing more on her balcony and in her pallet collars. Her interest in growing also comes from doing it together with her children, who are happy to help with growing strawberries and pea pods. Cecilia likes sowing seeds and is open to trying new plants, although she has sometimes had problems with the warm balcony where the plants have previously had difficulty surviving.

Marina from Lidköping

Green Rebel Marina lives in an apartment in Lidköping with her partner and loves growing on her balcony, even though she is a beginner. Every season she learns new things and looks forward to developing her growing skills. This year she plans to grow tomatoes, chili, herbs and flowers in pots and balcony boxes to create a green oasis on the balcony.

Sofie from Köping

Say hello to Sofie, a mother of two and a nurse who grows vegetables on her balcony in Köping. She grows vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and spices, and has also tried chili. At her workplace there is a glass-enclosed balcony where she continues her growing journey. Sofie is looking forward to developing her crops even further in 2025 and creating her own green balcony oasis.
