These oval allotments in Nærum to the north of Copenhagen may look like the most modern of designs, but in fact they were laid out in 1948 by the renowned landscape architect C. Th. Sørensen (1893–1979). There are forty plots, each measuring approximately 25 × 15 m, and owners were free to position their cottages, select the surrounding hedges, and plant the interior of their plots as they wished. Almost eighty years later, they are still beautiful and productive. (Also near Copenhagen are the circular allotments at Brøndby Haveby.)
