Garden Diary
Impressions in change of the seasons
A greenhouse packed with seedlings
To extend the season and give the seedlings an easier start under controlled, optimised conditions, we start most of our vegetable crops and cut flowers from seed indoors.
The joy of spring
This year everything is different, a good three weeks earlier. While we are still busy preparing the beds, everything around us is blooming and turning green.
Fog and hoarfrost
For us, the cold season is at its most beautiful when the soft snow is joined by hoarfrost, which coats even the finest twigs, leaves or dried berries in icy crystals.
Golden Winter
While most changes in the garden happen more or less leisurely over the course of the seasons and blend seamlessly into one another, snow completely transforms the landscape from one moment to the next.
Winter wreath

Frosty sparkle
The first frost seems to preserve the last splashes of autumn colour under its sparkling ice crystals.
Autumn leaves
We would love to stop time in autumn, when trees and bushes shine in the most beautiful colours.
Cut flower bed in morning mist
The mornings when the rising sun pushes aside dense fog with all its might are one of the most beautiful things about autumn for us.
September mowing
With the mowing of our wildflower meadows at the latest, the farewell to summer becomes very clear.
Transformation of the new perennial beds
It is amazing what a few square metres of change can do to the overall appearance of the garden.
