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, natural stone meets herb tips

How about pine-scented rosemary, rustic Bavaria rosemary, or even barbecue rosemary? Späth's herb garden offers a wide variety of subtle differences. The first of more than 20 varieties of basil are also available. The world of Asian herbs is fascinating—from galangal to Vietnamese coriander, Fo Tieng to Szechuan pepper, Japanese tea hydrangea to Vietnamese water fennel.

Colorful enamel buckets from yesteryear, old roasting pans, and small tubs are the "best friends" of long-lasting Späth herbs for creating a herb garden full of character. Rustic trellises from France, driftwood from Galicia, roots from the Mark Brandenburg, Silesian sandstone troughs, and other found objects bring a holiday flair to gardens and homes. A highlight are the unique pieces of furniture made from recycled metal and Brandenburg wood with the label "Tacheles in Späth."

Culinary and musical side program

Jeunesse Jazz and winemaker Johannes Nickel from Franconia will provide lively, elegant accompaniment to the season-opening walk on Saturday and Sunday. Späth's restaurant will serve dishes featuring wild herbs and culinary herbs from the herb garden. The farm shop offers delicious regional 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.
