Gartenzauber Großenaspe — Northern Germany's Most Beautiful Garden Festival

A Festival for Discerning Gardeners

The Gartenzauber Großenaspe is not just any garden fair, but a curated festival with high aesthetic standards. Around 140 carefully selected exhibitors bring what truly interests German garden enthusiasts — from rare perennials and antique garden decor to contemporary landscape art. The organizer themselves runs an online shop for flower seeds, bulbs, garden supplies, and stationery — their passion for the subject is evident.

The Setting: Hof Bissenbrook

The venue is the traditional Hof Bissenbrook on the outskirts of Großenaspe — a classic Northern German farm with paved paths, expansive meadows, an event barn, and its famous Lindenallee. The old trees form a natural canopy under which the stalls are lined up — hardly any other festival site in Schleswig-Holstein offers a comparable atmosphere for a garden festival.

What You'll Find

• Plant Selection — Perennials, roses, shrubs, bulbs, exotic specialties
• Decorations and Garden Furniture — from rustic Northern German to modern-purist
• Handicrafts — ceramics, metalwork, wood art, textiles
• Gastronomy — carefully curated, regional specialties alongside Mediterranean offerings
• Live Music and Acrobatics on various stages

Visitor Information

For safety and hygiene reasons, dogs are not allowed. There are no ATMs on site — you'll find banks in Großenaspe and Boostedt. The main paths are paved, and the event barn is accessible via a steep ramp.

In the Segeberg District, Schleswig-Holstein

Großenaspe is located in the Segeberg district, about 50 km north of Hamburg. The Gartenzauber is part of a double event pairing — in addition to the spring festival in early May, Hof Bissenbrook also organizes the Herbstzauber (Autumn Magic) counterpart in September. Both are among the most visited garden festivals on Schleswig-Holstein's west coast.
