Many visitors at the day of the open garden door: With ten participating garden owners, the focus of the campaign was in Grüntegernbach.

Grüntegernbach/Inning – In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, many look for grounding in their own garden.

They find relaxation and can produce healthy food.

So it's no wonder that, despite the heat, many interested people were out and about at the day of the open garden door on Sunday to take a look behind the garden doors that are otherwise closed, to get ideas and to exchange ideas with other nature lovers.

In Grüntegernbach, ten garden owners invited visitors to visit.

The official opening also took place in the artist garden of Hannelore Stephani and Peter Breth.

There are funny sculptures between a wonderful natural plant world.

And because every garden reflects the personality and taste of the owner, there was so much more to discover at Greadugge.

For example the "Garden at the Henaheisl" by Resi Untereitmeier and a few meters further "Mira's Elfengarten" by the Unterreitmeier family.

Visitors could also take a “look over the garden fence” by Theres Kurz or take a walk “around the natural pond” by the Hagl family.

In the Tafelmeier family’s “Wilden-Nutz-Paradies”, you could marvel at the vegetables bursting with energy in the raised beds and you could hear the peeping of chicks.

The 700 square meters in the "near-natural diversity garden" by Andrea and Uwe Feckl were particularly ingenious.

Before they created their paradise in 2004, they had taken a garden design course with Peter Arweck, who was then the district consultant.

They had to divide up the 4.5 meter difference in height sensibly.

The result is a feel-good garden with shady trees, space for sun loungers, a green roof, water sources, logs and Benjes hedges.

Already the street side to the entrance of the wooden house delights with a sea of ​​lavender, lady's mantle and boxwood, in between Fluhstein to secure the three meter high embankment and make it invisible.

Proud gardeners: Andrea and Uwe Feckl with Apple Queen Raphaela, District Advisor Michael Klinger, Gartler Chair Regina Blasi and August Groh, District Manager of the District Association for Horticulture and Land Conservation.

The local horticultural association, headed by Regina Blasi, provided catering in the fire station, where everyone could also pick up an overview plan with a brief description.

The search was made easier by large yellow signs in front of the respective house with garden.

Together with August Groh from the district association, district consultant Michael Klinger and Apple Queen Raphaela Müller from Armstorf, Blasi paid a visit to all ten garden owners.

Some of them had set up a small bar.

Freddy and Conny Hastreiter have also created a dream garden with Mama Anna in Inning.

They have planted fruit trees with old varieties, large trumpet trees and bamboo, a large vegetable garden, bordered by perennials and other native flowering plants on around 2000 square meters.

A self-made bench and many others invite you to linger under shady trees, a row of berries to snack on, a bathing pond not only invites the Hastreiters, but also newts to swim.

Between the outskirts of the settlement and an ecologically managed piece of forest, all kinds of insects and birds feel right at home here, even a kingfisher has been sighted here twice.

Beekeeper Freddy Hastreiter has created a nutrient-rich home for seven bee colonies.

The same applies to the gardening association Inning, which has leased part of the garden and uses it for pruning courses or for the holiday program.

Just a few kilometers further in Großwimpasing, Claudia Jell was happy to welcome many gardeners to her pot and perennial garden.

Rosy patches, shady spots, pots full of herbs and flowers with a direct view of the church were also a dream for many visitors.
