"If I'm born again, I'll be a gardener again" Karl Foerster
Those who love gardens have many stories to tell - about planting, weeding, enjoying and creating freely. Garden stories are as varied as the gardeners themselves.
Since the town was founded in 1810, gardening has always been a popular pastime in Putbus, whether it was with stem roses on white facades, wild garlic in the kitchen garden or in the flowering borders around the castle. The princely court gardeners Halliger and Todenhagen were close confidants of Wilhelm Malte I, Prince of Putbus. They supplied him with fresh fruit and vegetables, tended his vineyard and the young exotic trees in the orangery. Todenhagen even tried to grow sweet pineapples, as was once the fashion in England. For this reason alone, it is worth looking for traces in places like Putbus, where the art of gardening was in its heyday in the 18th and 19th centuries. What has changed since then and what has survived to this day?
But Putbus is not just the white rose residence. At second glance, there are still many hidden things to discover behind the facades. These include the lovingly landscaped private gardens on the Circus. Our spring walk will include the famous look over the garden fence. Let yourself be surprised by very personal garden stories between past and present!
