The Countesses on Mainau
2009-12-09
The Countesses on the flower island Two sisters who know the art of having fun together and who represent the royals of the new time. Two hardworking career women who can have both tiara and tattoo with the silk dress. They are countesses and sisters with a special fondness of father Lennart Bernadotte´s flower island Mainau. Bettina and Diana Bernadotte are modern royals with a glimpse in the eye who both grow their own rose garden. Today the island is one of southern Germany’s biggest tourist attractions which is visited by 1,2 million people every year, and who turned over 18 million Europe last year. During the high season between March and October, they have 300 employees, of which 60 are gardeners.
