Nadya is a journalist, stylist, and entrepreneur who lives with her seven-year-old son Edward. Her weekdays are filled with (among other things) travels, holistic workouts, and browsing for inspiring design pieces for their Djurgården home. A passionate fashion-and-design aficionado, Nadya is always looking for new and dreamy experiences. Her motto is “Sprinkle life with extra everything”, and winning a Hermès-scarf auction (or some other design classic) at a bargain price certainly helps!

Rosendal's Garden

Rosendals Trädgård is one of Stockholm’s true gems! The garden café is located in a fantastic setting on Djurgården island and offers salads, soups, sandwiches and pastries made in the bakery next door. The café uses organic and biodynamic ingredients, a lot of them even come from their own garden. Many Stockholmers make the pilgrimage to Rosendal on sunny days, but there’s room for numerous guests. In the summer you can sit on the grass in the orchard. Don&#x27;t miss to pop in to the little boutique before you leave. Best way to get here is to walk from the bridge Djurgårdsbron, follow the canal and you will see the signs.
