Kräutertage zum Saisonauftakt

There are also matching organic herb soils, unusual garden decoration ideas, ceramic seedling pots, handmade garden sticks, rose arches with unique value and natural wood ideas.

In plant sales, the nursery assortment in front of the historic packing hall is richly filled with woody plants, hedge plants, topiary rarities, perennials, spring bloomers, bulbs and seeds. The new tree quarter showcases climate-resistant specimen trees such as ironwood, Turkey oak, field maple, amber and red maple. Willow catkins, ornamental cherry, almond trees and witch hazel beckon with fresh spring blossoms.

Art meets garden, findings meets herb tips

Can it be Sardinian rosemary, Bavaria or pine-scented rosemary, Corsican blue or barbecue? In the herb garden at Späth, you will find a great variety of small differences. The world of Asian herbs is fascinating - from galangal to Vietnamese coriander, Fo Tieng to Szechuan pepper, Japanese tea hydrangea to water fennel from Vietnam.

Colorful enamel buckets from the old days, old roasters and small tubs are “pretty much best friends” for the long-lived Späth herbs: with a few handfuls of drainage granules placed in the containers, Provence basil and Tasmanian mint, Crete lemon balm and Canary dock are given the best conditions to produce a large yield with minimal care.

Rustic trellises from France, driftwood from Galicia, roots from the Mark Brandenburg, Silesian sandstone troughs and other found objects bring vacation flair to the garden and home.

Culinary and musical side program

Späth's das Gasthaus invites you to a culinary herb experience and serves dishes with wild and culinary herbs from the herb garden assortment. The farm store offers good things from the region. In the supporting program on Saturday and Sunday, the “Jeunesse Jazz” ensemble and wine tasting directly from the winegrower will accompany the seasonal start walk with lively elegance. Herbalist Eva Arlt will be providing interesting facts about herb walks in the city, as well as wild herb products.

The Herb Days will take place in the herb garden, in the large gardener's foil tent and in the Swedish garden on the grounds of Späth'schen Baumschulen.

Admission is free.
