Welcome to Villa Emilia (My Woodland Garden), a photography blog with a slant towards gardening and nature. An amateur gardener and photographer, I hope to share beautiful moments with you through pictures. 🤎 From autumn 2026 onwards, Villa Emilia will be even more Christmassy than before!

Thank you for your visit.

Change of residence


In the last few years, one of my favourite places has been Harju, “The Ridge”, a landscape park in the centre of Jyväskylä. I have loved jogging there, enjoying the bright summer mornings and darkening autumn evenings, smelling the fresh air, admiring those that run and look really sporty (in a town with a Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences you can see many of them!)... and just walking peacefully, lost in thought.  I have loved you, Harju, but now it's time to say goodbye.  Stay well!
