Garten-Guru-Grünzeug-Show

In the organizer's words:

What happens when five passionate gardening gurus take to the stage? When they pack their knowledge, their stories and their amazement about nature into short performances - sometimes humorous, sometimes profound, sometimes poetic, sometimes musical? Then it will be green. And lively. And it will be just as lively afterwards, when there is room for discussions with the garden gurus and visitors.

The garden gurus

Anja Birne - horticultural engineer, garden tour guide, vice-president of the Garden Society - quirky gardeners and bizarre garden ladies.

Jan Nienhaus - Excellent Young Gardener scholarship holder, own landscaping business - about his sowing and testing of climatic trees

Klaudia Blasl - Austrian poisonous plant expert and author - with true crime stories of historical and current poisonous plant murders.

Marco Büttgenbach - master gardener, founder of the Alexian monastery nursery in Cologne - with the garden knowledge quiz

Dr. Uwe Westphal - biologist and living translation app for blue tit, sparrow & co. - with chirping performance and know-how about the local bird world.
