While visiting the beautiful capital city of Copenhagen in Denmark, I encountered what seems like an alien civilization 👽 To my surprise, these are just small piece of what called, “Colony Gardens”, literally a garden space that Danish citizens can rent to grow produces & vegetables. Space is extremely limited if you’re living the main city so this is the perfect way to have your own gardens & get back to nature! Owners are allowed to live there between April-October to take care of their gardens (can’t grow anything in the winter 😄) . What a unique way of contributing to a better planet 🌏 Way to go Danes 👏 🇩🇰 .

The Round Gardens 🍀🌳 // Unreal how my recent images from here went crazy viral… I put together this video to hopefully help everyone understand more about this phenomenon allotment gardens. These 12 circular community gardens were designed by the genius landscape architect Erik Mygind as a place where people can get away from the stresses of apartment living, plant some fruit trees and to relax on the weekend. Typical rent per garden is around $150/month. Due to zoning restrictions, people can only live on the property 6 months out of the year. The intention behind this unique layout was to mimic the traditional patterns of the 18th century Danish villages, where people would use the middle as a focal point for hanging out, mingle and social interchange between neighbors. To create somewhat of a privacy between each gardens, the bordering hedges are slanted towards the middle and being used for parking purposes as you can see from the video. Love it or hate it, I hope you’ll enjoy this video & share it to those that take their backyard for granted 😊😁 #amazingdenmark .

The municipality of Brondby had the idea of ‘garden city’ in 1964, and the community loved it, and these beautiful circles of houses have appeared.

stunning arial shot from @dailyoverview. Brøndby Haveby is a residential community located just outside Copenhagen, Denmark. Houses with large front yards are centred around cul-de-sacs, providing urban dwellers the opportunity to live outside the city and grow small subsistence or hobby crops during the summer months.

It might sound childish but the residents of Brondby Haveby look like holding hands and dancing round and round when you look from above. In fact, they live in Brondby Haveby to make time for their hobbies and have a peaceful life, so maybe dancing can be one of them.

The garden architect wanted the gardens to be divided into circular shapes. He explained that the shape symbolized an old village where the people met at the well located in the center.
