Jordberga gods är en pärla på den sydskånska slätten. Gården har gamla anor och omnämns första gången 1355. Godset brändes ned och plundrades under kriget mellan Sverige och Danmark 1644. En trelängad gård byggdes upp på samma plats på 1650-talet. Gården ändrades inte mycket efter detta, förrän Carl Adam von Nolcken tog över godset 1834.

The aim with this thesis was to investigate what characterises an English Arts and Crafts garden how they could be modernised in Sweden. My research was limited to 20 weeks of full-time writing and worth 30 ECTS. Through literature studies, interviews and site visits I could analyse my findings which resulted in a concrete garden design project. The Arts and Crafts was a movement that started in England during the 1880?s and evolved as a reaction towards the industrialisation. The influence came from the writings and practices of John Ruskin (1819-1900) and William Morris (1834-1896) who advocated the importance of craftsmanship. The Arts and Crafts movement also became a ?recipe for life? and was associated with a healthy and morally pure way of living.
