With Thomas Huber safely through the plant winter

When lemon and orange trees in the Botanical Garden Karlsruhe exude their Mediterranean scent, the next challenge is already approaching: How do delicate potted plants survive the cold season? In this informative special tour, gardening enthusiasts receive practical answers firsthand and simultaneously experience a special side of the Botanical Garden at Karlsruhe Palace.

Practical knowledge between show greenhouses and palace gardens

Garden director Thomas Huber guides through the world of wintering plants and explains the conditions needed for Mediterranean plants, citrus trees, and other delicate potted plants. The tour combines botanical expertise with vivid impressions from the historical garden ensemble. Thus, local gardening culture becomes directly tangible, and the cultural heritage of the Karlsruhe palace complex is expanded with a green perspective.

Advice for your own garden

The focus is on specific tips for care before, during, and after wintering. Participants will learn what to consider regarding location, temperature, light, watering, and the right timing for moving plants to protected spaces. Personal questions are also welcome: plants, plant parts, or photos of one's own plants may be brought along and discussed with the expert.

A botanical discovery experience with a historical backdrop

The Botanical Garden Karlsruhe is located directly next to Karlsruhe Palace and serves as a green oasis in the middle of the city. The show greenhouses have a long tradition of preserving delicate plants from southern regions. During the walk, architecture, garden art, and living plant science converge into a cultural enrichment for hobby gardeners, plant lovers, and curious visitors.

Small group, personal insights

The special tour is limited to a maximum of 20 participants. This creates a personal atmosphere with ample opportunity for follow-up questions and individual gardening tips. The event lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours and is particularly suitable for anyone looking to deepen their knowledge of potted plants and expertly prepare their own plants for winter.

Conclusion: Entering the cold season with expert knowledge

Look forward to an informative city tour through the Botanical Garden Karlsruhe, practical care tips, and fascinating insights into working with wintering plants. Sign up in time, bring photos or plant parts if needed, and take valuable knowledge home for your own garden.
