from
Wikipedia
In 1895, the first allotment garden of Sweden was established in Malmö, followed by Stockholm in 1904.
The local authorities were inspired by Anna Lindhagen, a social-democratic leader and a woman in the upper ranks of society, who visited allotment gardens in Copenhagen and was delighted by them.
In her first book on the topic devoted to the usefulness of allotment gardens she wrote: For the family, the plot of land is a uniting bond, where all family members can meet in shared work and leisure.
The family father, tired with the cramped space at home, may rejoice in taking care of his family in the open air, and feel responsible if the little plot of earth bestows a very special interest upon life. Anna Lindhagen is said to have met Lenin when he passed through Stockholm from the exile in Switzerland on their return trip to Russia after the February Revolution in 1917.
The workers should not be occupied with gardening, they should rather devote themselves to the proletarian revolution.
