Nostalgia and sustainability come together in this museum. The Museum der Gartenkultur (Museum of garden culture) preserves knowledge about plants, gardens and horticulture in the form of historical and contemporary tools, pictures, posters, historical catalogues and manuscripts. Changing exhibitions provide an insight into the diverse working world of gardeners, while the museum gardens on the open-air grounds invite plant lovers to take a walk and explore. Useful and ornamental plants - including many endangered species - are cultivated here. In the moulded fruit cabinet, everything revolves around the artful cultivation of fruit, while the vegetable cabinet provides information about crop rotation, mixed cultivation and, of course, organically grown vegetables.
