The event combines the Advent atmosphere, botanical ambiance, and imaginative storytelling.

When Plants Become Storytellers

Gardening educator Steffen Ramm takes on the role of storyteller and takes the young guests on a pre-Christmas journey. A special live atmosphere develops in the greenhouses: among lush greenery and a warm indoor climate, the stories unfold their own tone.

Imagination, Participation, and a Cacao Tree

The fairy tale hour tells, among other things, in an imaginative way how the cacao tree originated. The audience is not left alone in the role of listeners. The children themselves become part of the stories and experience an interactive stage performance that combines natural knowledge and storytelling art.

The one-hour event is aimed at children from four years old and their accompanying persons. The Botanical Garden creates an unusual venue with its display greenhouses, where botanical education, literature, and seasonal audience mood come together.

Families experience Advent here not just as decoration, but as a story to listen to and participate in. Registration is required.
