Travelog post for: Mush

Next my host wanted to show me her favorite gardening shop, Viherlandia.

Outside it was snowy and icy, but inside we found Cafe Eden and had coffee with a cake called Runebergin torttu.

After that I had a chance to talk wit the parrots Kalle and Torsti.

"Terve, terve" = Hello, hello!

"Mitä kuuluu?" = How are you?

"Osta kukka!" = Buy a flower!


Despite the cold weather i felt like I was in the middle of a rain forest. I saw beautiful flowers and plants. I met mermaids, gnomes, chicken... I saw bird houses and all kinds of decor for inside and outside. My host does not have a garden but she grows all kinds of flowers and herbs on her balcony. Summertime, of course. She told me that last summer was "The summer of yellow flowers" and this year she will have green summer. At the moment everything is so white...

I also saw some Finnish design by Iittala (colorful glass) and Moomin figures. It is forbidden for an elephant to enter a glass department but moose are allowed!
