Three generations: Tage Hallberg thinking - Ulf Åkerberg Hallberg planning and Martin Hallberg Åkerberg fantasize ... 'forest land'. Eleven years in municipal anticipation of a plot is over. I'm with 'building plot'.

Location of house and garage - felling trees with ropes and bow saw - burn rice - tribal protect selected trees - save humic - collect stones for drywall - excavator in January 25 1980 - land preparation for the base - I'm on the road!

Pia Åkerbergs grandmother Brita Stenstrom and mother Gunnel Hansson on tour of the house. I have designed a simple garden drawing and coloring a house facade drawing. Mounted in a window for visitors. Moving in. Purchase of hand tools: Skin hoe, skewer, shovel, ax, wheelbarrow, etc.. Garden creation can begin... but where?

Gravel Paths - large cobblestone-drywall natural stone-tie. Foundation plants: Foxglove - Lilium martagon - Sedum - Campanula carpatica (Carpathian Bellflower) - Rugosa 'Dagmar Hastrup'. In a year I become a member of STA - Society Garden Amateurs. Then begins 'Garden Journey' seriously...

STREAM. Meandering - small glittering water - slight rippling cases -
POND. Shape - Size - sunshine duration - Formats for different depths - The Wave - Soft Shape the pond edge with flexible masonry - Concrete: (H30 - fiber mesh - luftporbildare - retarder mm.)
