Grow the City
Come and experience the nature of the city at the Swedish Museum of Natural History's inner courtyard!
Grow the City opens soon
The exhibition is open May 21th - September 30th. We are open with creative activities June 26th - August 13th.
Mulch nest
Lack of old hollow deciduous trees affects our small insects. You can help them by building a mulch nest!
Meadow
Turn a piece of lawn into a meadow to help bees, butterflies, other pollinators and flower visitors.
Bee beach
Do you have a sunny spot over or an unused sandbox? Create a bee beach, a sand bed for wild bees!
Branch fence
A branch fence is easy to build and provides housing for small insects, while you get the use of materials from the garden.
Experience this!
In the museum's green courtyard, you can enjoy urban cultivation and be inspired to grow your own. You can also explore the nature in the city through play and discovery.
