Gartenträume auf der Rennbahn Hoppegarten

Botanical Tour with Plant Doctor René Wadas

Plant doctor René Wadas personally guides visitors on a botanical tour of the garden fair, taking them to meet exhibitors who are pioneers in the gardening industry. During this journey of discovery through gardens, plants, herbs, and flowers, participants will learn which plants pair perfectly, what care tips the plant doctor has to offer, and what grows in René Wadas’s own garden.

Plant doctor René Wadas also offers daily plant consultations. Visitors are welcome to bring ailing plants, their leaves, fruits, or even photos to Gartenträume. René Wadas knows how to interpret the symptoms. After making a diagnosis, René Wadas draws up a treatment plan, always relying on natural remedies without chemicals.

Feng Shui, Plant Paradises, and Herbalism

The principles of feng shui are key to creating a garden design that touches the soul and spirit. Plants take center stage—and so a mini demonstration garden at Gartenträume illustrates the basics of feng shui in a small space. Another demonstration garden area, featuring natural stones and a rock fountain, highlights the importance of flowing water.

Flowering shrubs, hedge plants, fruit trees, perennials, and climate-hardy trees of the future: "Gartenträume" showcases the lush plant life cultivated by local growers. In addition, there are Mediterranean fruit trees that bring exotic fruits right into your own garden or onto your patio. Hundreds of varieties of culinary and medicinal herbs also demonstrate how small differences can result in great diversity. Wild plants grown from certified, regionally native seeds, with their natural flowers, are invaluable to the biodiversity of the insect world.

Modern technology and ideas for gardens, patios, and balconies

Bring new ideas to your garden, patio, and balcony: At Gartenträume, exhibitors showcase innovations straight from their own workshops. Modern materials, technology, and ideas are put to use in raised beds, patio construction, greenhouses, gazebos, and more. Robotic lawn mowers utilize advanced AI technology to create a virtual boundary for the mowing area via an app. Outdoor kitchens equipped with all the latest features demonstrate just how well life and celebrations under the stars can be combined with fresh, delicious food. Earth cellars use innovative systems to naturally cool food without the need for electricity.

A seeding tool that’s as clever as it is simple—and designed with gardening expertise—ensures strong roots and healthy plant growth right from the start. The latest trends in garden planning, design, and planting come from the world of gardening and landscaping.

Garden dreams as a special racetrack experience

With around 100 exhibitors, expert tips and inspiration, the latest outdoor trends, a packed program of events full of discoveries for everyone, and special activities for children, the Garden Fair transforms the historic grounds in Hoppegarten into the premier green destination for Berlin and Brandenburg for three days.
