The Wangeliner Garden: A natural paradise to marvel at and discover!

“Have you heard of the Wangelin Garden?” If you look around the Mecklenburg Lake District region, you can hardly miss this special garden. The Wangeliner Garden, which has existed for 35 years, not only offers a colorful variety of plants, but also a home for encounters between locals and newcomers. NDR reports that this place is one of reflection and sustainability and is ideal for guided tours of medicinal plants and farm gardens. Anyone interested in the beautiful sides of northern Germany will find a treasure trove of culinary delicacies and natural experiences here.

Covering an impressive 15,000 square meters, the Wangeliner Garden is home to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's largest herb garden with over 900 plant species. The variety ranges from a scented plant garden with essential oils to a butterfly garden where you can experience the colorful wildlife up close. In addition to the thematic beds, which are arranged according to disease patterns, there is also a farm garden that presents traditional and unknown vegetables, as the website of the state of Mecklenburg-Schwerin describes.

A place for young and old

Visitors are invited to not only find out about the plants in the Wangeliner Garden, but also to become active themselves. The concept includes a play area for children with a willow maze, a molehill and a magic flower area. While the children play, adults can fortify themselves with small daily specials in the farm shop or café. This creates a place where you can observe, understand, marvel and enjoy.

The North German Landscape Conservation School, which was founded in 2009, also aims to impart knowledge about the North German cultural landscape. During landscape conservation seminars, participants learn how important it is to preserve biotopes. In the spirit of education and respectful treatment of nature, the school invites you to set off on a natural path of 1,200 meters and learn more about the local flora and fauna. Anyone who wants to be enthusiastic about nature in the north will find the best conditions here to awaken interest and responsibility for biodiversity, as the website of the landscape conservation school explains.

Cultural experiences in Northern Germany

The Wangeliner Garden is one of a number of cultural and culinary highlights in northern Germany that were highlighted in the Nordtour program from August 30th and 31st. In addition to the garden, there are also reports about the Herrenhausen Gardens in Hanover, which are currently celebrating their 350th anniversary. Another highlight is Café Samay in Schwerin, which, after being renovated by young catering entrepreneurs, presents eastern charm and culinary delicacies. A culinary city tour of Lübeck, led by Harald Czujek, also offers special insights and unexpected delights.

The Wangeliner Garden not only shines with its plant diversity and extensive educational offerings, but also as a place for encounters and enjoyment. A visit is worthwhile for the whole family to experience a little break in the middle of nature, which is also reflected in the small daily specials on offer in the café and the informative farm shop. Anyone who has the opportunity should not miss this green oasis and take advantage of the various events in the garden or in the surrounding area, as NDR and Mecklenburg-Schwerin impressively report.
