Elisabet tells the story of how an innovative urban gardener came to town, started and drove through the transformation that today has become Enköping's major tourist attraction. She talks about how perennials, shrubs, trees and bulbs are combined to create different spaces and environments. About how perennials are used in large areas all over the city, in parks, in roundabouts, in refuges, along streets and in squares.
