From England Hilda Munthe brought English garden ideals and in Leksand she met the wild nature park surrounding the property. Her interest in gardening was large and with great energy she created the beautiful Hildasholm's gardens that we still today can admire.

Since she started gardening not until late in June the gardens are dominated by the floral spendour of high and late summer. An illustrative example is the yellow Rudbeckia lacinate that colours The Yellow Garden not until the beginning of August. Very English is the Peacock sculptures in The Yellow Garden – of that reason sometimes called The Peacock Garden. Its green painted Quarter-Circle Seats are furniture from John P White in Bedford England called "The Peacock Design". In the center of the garden is a sundial on a pedestal in Portland stone.

The impressive ever-green juniper-trees in The Juniper Garden, next to the yellow one, perform a dumb theatrical nordic show that intonate expressive variableness depending on time and season. The garden seem to conceal a mystery consigned to the bosom of the earth. Mysterious-looking are even the firtrees with a topiary that lead the visitors to the stonecourt in front of the house - Swedes are not familiar with those strange revelations. The Sunken Garden is built up around a pond with a sculptured figure in stone showing Diana as a child. Yellow lilies surround the pond together with coral flower and golden rod.

The Rosegarden is truly English. Among the roses and peonies stands a replica of Putto with a dolphin by Andrea del Verrochio - it has a counterpart at San Michele. On an "Antique Marble Seat" you can admire the roses.

A treillage summer house on the opposite site of the ravine, decorated with sweet peas and comfortably furnished, is also English.

The gardens to the north of the building bring us to wilderness. A small path passes us up and round the ravines to The Fountain Garden. A small fountain plays soft natural water music. The fountain is surrounded by granite pillars topped by cast iron urns, some filled with red begonia and others with blue Lobelia erinus.

The farthest garden is The Well Garden. Arches of hops frame the garden around a picturesque well. Here you can feel medieval tones from the well meeting future winds from Lake Siljan. A Green Arch Temple is brought from England and creates an unexpected surprise in the wilderness area.

During the summer 2004 two new gardens have been projected and finished at Hildasholm.
A kitchen garden similar to the one Hilda Munthe had in the 1920ies and 1930ies has been recreated and is located in the same place as in her days. The garden is a traditional Swedish kitchen garden with peas, carots, onions, beets and flowers. On another lot a medical garden in Doctor Axel Munthe's spirit has been planted.

Munthe's Hildasholm has won the magazine Gods & Gårdar's prize "The Palace Garden of the Year " in 2005.
