Garden

There’s plenty of space for activities of all types in our intercultural garden “Sonneneck,” including the cultivation of vegetables, fruit, and flowers. It’s a perfect spot for children to play hide and seek and explore the natural environment. For adults, there’s always enough garden work to go around as well as time to relax. Naturally, the garden also hosts parties and get-togethers.

In Summer and Fall 2016 a lot was accomplished. The Friedel & Gisela Bohnenkamp Foundation enabled the construction of a new garden fence, a new restroom, a play area, a wooden teepee, and the renovation of the garden house through generous funding. Garden construction projects were completed in cooperation with MÖWE gGmbH.

A very special and heartfelt thank you to the Bohnenkamp Foundation for fostering the growth of our garden. We are exceptionally pleased to have MÖWE gGmbH as a reliable partner to turn our needs and wishes for the garden into a reality.
