in short...

  • a lovely trip to Djurgården Island - preferably in midsummer

  • a picnic beneath apple trees

  • the best extra - cutting our own flowers

The island of Djurgården, a green oasis in the heart of Stockholm, is a wonderful place for daydreaming.

It's hard to believe that this idyllic paradise can be found so centrally located in the Swedish capital.

A large rose bush with light yellow and white blossoms in the foreground. In the blurred background, outdoor tables, chairs, people, and the structure of a greenhouse are visible.

Wandering through Rosendal Trädgård, established by the Swedish Garden Society between 1861 and 1911, to the greenhouses and gardens with the charmingly romantic café, makes for a perfect outing on a long Swedish midsummer day, we would never want to miss.

Several greenhouses with open doors at Rosendals Trädgård in Stockholm. Potted and bedded plants in front, a woman wearing a hat is visible inside.

On a meadow under apple trees and among flowerbeds, you'll find tables, benches, and chairs.

A garden area at Rosendals Trädgård in Stockholm with fruit trees and wooden tables. Several people are sitting or walking, two women are crossing the grass.

Inside the lovely greenhouses, a farm shop, a flower shop, a stone oven bakery, and a biodynamic garden café offer delicious pastries, breads, salads, ice cream, coffee, wine, and lemonade.

A rich cake buffet on wooden tables featuring cinnamon buns, chocolate cake, carrot cake, and pastries. A large stone vase filled with a colorful bouquet of summer flowers stands in the center.
Several sandwiches filled with cheese, cucumber slices, and greens are arranged on baking paper in the foreground. Behind them, a small black chalkboard sign reads "Ostmacka 75
A selection of various cookies on plates and cake stands arranged on a rustic wooden table. Small serving tongs, slate price tags, and small glass bottles with daisies are placed next to them.

Everything a picnic-loving heart could want is easy to gather here, including a lovely blanket to spread out on the wide meadow.

A white plate with salad, butter, and a slice of bread sits on a checkered picnic blanket. A green meadow with shade-providing trees stretches out in the background.

So it’s easy to daydream and enjoy life beside fragrant roses and in the shade of trees.

A section of the Rosendals Trädgård shop in Stockholm with plants, gardening books, and tools. A watering can hangs from the ceiling, with people visible in the background.

If you find it hard to part with the enchanting blossoms, you can borrow garden shears from the flower shop and cut your own flowers.

The gardeners grow about fifty different varieties each year, entirely pesticide-free and organically.

Back at the flower shop, you pay by weight and take a piece of Rosendals Trädgård home with you.

Who we are  and why we know a thing or two about lifestyle tips?

For over fifteen years, we ran Schneewittchen, our self-founded café and concept store in the heart of Munich’s Glockenbach district. 

A decade and a half of hands-on experience  in hospitality, design, curation and community  is the foundation we build on today, and the reason we’re excited to share what we’ve learned.

Schneewittchen was never just a café or lifestyle shop. 

It was a second living room  - a place where friends and family came together. 

Some regulars became close friends. Others found the warm, familiar atmosphere so comforting that Schneewittchen became a part of their daily rhythm. 

For some, it was a creative workplace  - a spot to feel inspired, free, and always well-fed.

People were curious about our shop products, our café menu, our playlists  - and often, about us. 

They asked about our travels, our favourite places to eat or shop, the clothes we wore. Questions poured in about design, interiors, kitchen tools, self-employment and more.

Bumblebee Magazine was born out of those conversations. 

It’s a lifestyle platform for like-minded people to discover answers, find inspiration and stumble across the next thing they might like as much as we do.
