Open Garden & Arts and Crafts Bodenwerder

Open Garden is a format that has found followers in many regions of Germany for years. Private gardeners open their lovingly designed grounds to the public, creating a special form of encounter: the garden as a work of art, an expression of taste, a cultivated natural space.

Haus mit der Schleife

The Haus mit der Schleife in Bodenwerder is one of the charming estates in the Münchhausenland. The garden displays a thoughtful composition of cottage garden elements, perennial beds, small seating areas, and design accents. Visitors to the garden experience a place maintained with great attention to detail.

Connection with Arts and Crafts

The specialty of this format lies in the combination of garden tours and arts and crafts. Artisans present their work among the flowerbeds and seating areas: ceramics, textiles, woodwork, jewelry — depending on the exhibitor and season. This combination adds extra inspiration to the visit and allows for the direct purchase of unique pieces.

Two Afternoons from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM

The program spans two afternoons. On Saturday and Sunday, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM each day, the garden is open. These manageable time slots allow for a relaxed, curated visit without crowds. Those who wish can plan an afternoon coffee with a stroll through the garden and conversations with the exhibitors.

Source of Inspiration for Garden Friends

For those who design their own gardens, the visit is a source of inspiration. Plant combinations, design ideas, structures — all can be observed and taken home for one's own garden. The hosts are happy to answer questions.
