Herbaceous perennials in all their splendour

In September the Botanic Garden comes into its own – and so does the Berliner Staudenmarkt herbaceous perennials fair. Up to one hundred selected plant and tree nurseries from the region and beyond are lining up along a thousand-metre trail to present their latest new varieties, rare plants and specialist ranges – from garden ferns to Delphiniums from the famous Foerster Nursery. Many shrubs, trees and herbaceous perennials take well to being planted in the autumn.

Nourishing and healing

Get a taste of this year’s harvest – fresh from the fruit and vegetable garden: tomatoes in all colours, from yellow to black, frost-hardy kiwis, apples from the region and high-quality oils and mustards. The wide range of young fruit trees, including old and new varieties, will make your mouth water in anticipation of next year’s season.

Edible flowers

Phlox, Malva, Hosta and Hemerocallis don’t just look pretty in the garden, they can also delight your palate. Find out which flowers to add to the saucepan or the salad bowl – our experts are happy to offer free culinary advice.

Medicine from the herb garden

Thyme, mint and rosemary are excellent kitchen herbs, but these and many other plants, such as comfrey and elder, can also help ease a host of ailments. Visitors to the Staudenmarkt can find out which medicinal plants are suitable for the garden or balcony.

The Butterfly Prize 2010

Magnificent roses, hardy cacti, decorative shrubs and succulents straight from the grower add colour and splendour to the Staudenmarkt. Arts and crafts, garden accessories and organic bread making presentations complement the floral offering. A tasty selection of food and beverages in the best organic quality keeps visitors well fed and watered too. And on 4th September at 11am the winner of the ‘Butterfly Prize’ for the best natural garden will be announced by the German nature conservation organisation NABU.
