The
Round
Gardens
of
Nærum:
The
Naerum
suburban
district
of
Copenhagen
in
Denmark,
is
the
setting
for
one
of
the
most
visually
appealing
allotment
gardens
in
the
world.
Søren
Carl
Theodor
Marius
Sørensen
is
considered
one
of
the
greatest
landscape
architects
to
have
ever
lived,
and
the
Oval
Gardens
of
Naerum
are
one
of
his
most
famous
projects.
In
1948,
40
oval
allotment
gardens,
each
measuring
approximately
25x
15
m,
were
laid
out
on
a
rolling
lawn,
between
public
housing
on
one
side
and
more
traditional
allotments
on
the
other.
Owners
were
free
to
position
their
cottages,
select
the
surrounding
hedges,
and
lay
out
the
interior
of
their
plots,
but
Sørensen
provided
some
directions,
stressing
that
they
were
meant
as
a
guide,
not
rules.
Seventy
years
later,
and
the
oval
gardens
of
Naerum
are
still
one
of
the
most
beautiful
attractions
in
the
Danish
capital.
