I have always been interested in nature and everything that sprouts and grows.

Since 1987 I have tested about 150 different varieties, and have continuously learned more about how to care for the plants to get the best results. This hobby has brought me in contact with people in many countries who share the same interest. Communication has usually been by email which I initially wrote in Norwegian or English, and then translated using online translation tools. Bridging language barriers in this way has enabled me to exchange crosses with people from countries that 10 years ago were out of reach.

I have now included a translation module on the website, so that my current international contacts and other foreign growers can also follow grape growing in Norway.

Here you can read about some of my experiences, and perhaps also become interested in grape growing. - Because it is actually possible, even in Norway!

If you have further interest, I can be contacted through the form on the privacy page.

Kind regards
