Astrid Lindgren understood that children need safety; it was a theme she talked about a lot and depicted over and over again in her books. Children need to grow up in an environment where they feel a sense of belonging and have security, so that they can develop their independence and self-esteem.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"w-full\">\n\t<div class=\"flex flex-col w-full m-auto py-7 gap-7 inner-contain\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div data-aos=\"\" data-aos-duration=\"\" class=\"flex relative items-center justify-between w-full m-auto tablet:w-3\/4 tablet-sm:w-full tablet:flex-col-reverse desktop-sm:px-4 gap-7 \">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-col items-start justify-center w-full gap-5 max-w-[40%] tablet:max-w-full\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"-demi text-darkGreen\">Security and a rush of flowers<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"text-black text-[20px]\">Hannu Sarenstr\u00f6m is a horticultural visionary and composed the layout of the Forest Grove. This is what he says of the nature in the grove:\r\n\u201cThe grove is closest to our hearts both in the garden and in nature. In the garden we can control its content and create strangely beautiful experiences. After a period of colourlessness come budding leaves and shimmering blossoms: never is it so beautiful as in the first two weeks of May. Perhaps that is what we need most, a temporary rush of flowers and an excess of beauty after a long melancholy winter.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center w-full\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"object-cover w-full h-[30rem] mobile-sm:h-[16rem] mobile:h-[18rem] rounded-lg\" src=\"https:\/\/astridlindgrensnas.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/y3a0221-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div data-aos=\"\" data-aos-duration=\"\" class=\"flex flex-col items-start justify-center w-full mb-[-64px] tablet-lg:px-0 tablet-lg:mb-0 py-7\">\n\t<div class=\"relative z-0 items-center w-full m-auto inner-contain tablet-lg:max-w-none tablet-lg:px-0 tablet-lg:gap-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div data-sliderid=\"skogslunden\" class=\"tablet-lg:px-4 mb-4 w-full rounded-lg tablet-lg:rounded-none justify-start flex overflow-hidden skogslunden tablet:mb-2 image-slider\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex justify-center mobile:gap-0 swiper-wrapper tablet-lg:justify-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/astridlindgrensnas.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/tradgardsgang-kapitel-2.jpg\" alt=\"Tr\u00e4dg\u00e5rdsg\u00e5ng\" class=\"object-cover w-full rounded-lg mobile:max-w-full tablet-lg:mx-0 aspect-square swiper-slide\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/astridlindgrensnas.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/y3a5023-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"object-cover w-full rounded-lg mobile:max-w-full tablet-lg:mx-0 aspect-square swiper-slide\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/astridlindgrensnas.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/gang-pilstaket-maj15.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"object-cover w-full rounded-lg mobile:max-w-full tablet-lg:mx-0 aspect-square swiper-slide\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"!w-1\/2 !m-auto swiper-scrollbar skogslunden-scrollbar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center w-full py-71\">\n\t<div data-aos=\"fade-up\" data-aos-duration=\"600\" class=\"flex flex-col items-center justify-center w-full gap-4 px-6 m-auto text-center inner-contain mobile:px-4\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"-italic text-[36px]  leading-[1.5] text-darkGreen text-center\">\n\t\t\t\u201cThe Ericsson children at N\u00e4s were called Gunnar, Astrid, Stina and Ingegerd. It was good to be a child there and to be a child of Samuel August and Hanna. Why was it so good? I have tried to determine the answer to that, and I think I know. We had two things that made our childhood what it was \u2013 security and freedom. It was safe with those two who cared so much about each other and were always there if we needed them, but otherwise let us freely and happily scale the fantastic playground of our childhood
