Throughout the season, the castle terraces and rose garden constantly change with tens of thousands of plants.
In April, Bosjökloster's park is covered by a white carpet - wood anemone. On the terraces around the castle scores of narcissus and tulips bloom in May in all colours. Blooming shrubs, azalea and rhododendron line the path to the Thousand Year Old Oak.
The first roses appear at the end of May. Peony and lilies are fragrant and beautiful features in June. The large perennial flower beds in English style blaze in all colours and heights on the Upper Terrace. The nepeta creates blue-grey borders, not the least in the newly redesigned Rose Garden. Here the English David Austin roses distinguish themselves with their wonderful scents. Several hundred kinds of roses can be found at Bosjökloster - thousands in number.
Roses and hydrangea bloom in the Court Yard, surrounded by box-hedges. In the adjoining little herb garden, surrounded by high walls where roses, clematis and grapevines climb, you find both health- and food herbs.
On the Lower Terrace a long flower bed along a hedge towards the Ring Lake displays variable and fascinating plants, such as the 1.5 m high nicotinus.
The Thousand Year Old Oak stands at the entrance to the park where you can walk among the friendly ponies, goats and cattle. On the playground are smaller animals, such as mini-pigs and chickens.
