About me...

My photo
The Intercontinental Gardener
Sweden
The name "Intercontinental Gardener" was originally a joke but I've certainly lived up to it. Born in Finland, I've lived in seven countries on four continents - so far... I grew my first garden in Melbourne, second in Saltsjöbaden and third in Seattle. In addition, I've lived in Singapore and Tokyo. After 11 years away, I moved back to Saltsjöbaden in 2019 and am now replanting my long-neglected but much-loved garden here. See my latest pictures from Tokyo and Saltsjöbaden on Instagram @liisawihman. Welcome! Liisa.
