Sehr schöner Garten. Wollten Fotos für ein Herbarium mit Heimischen Pflanzen nur leider war der Einheimische Pflanzenteil in Bau. Was ja aber auch nicht schlecht ist

Ein wirklich schöner B. Garten und wir waren schon in vielen auf der ganzen Welt... So eine grosse Pflanzen und vorallem Schmetterlings Vielfalt bekommt man selten geboten. Sehr schön, den Kindern hat es auch gut gefallen👍🏼 10/10

Ich war mal wieder zum Sommerkonzert. Dieses geht noch bis Ende August Sonntags.Es ist immer richtig toll.
