We are happy about all people who visit our museum and would like to offer a hospitable atmosphere to all interested parties. Every visit to the greenhouses, the rockery and the cold frames area is unique - whether in the warm or cold season. Our plants make the exhibition!
So that all visitors can enjoy their stay with us, the relevant information follows here.
We wish you many exciting discoveries with us!

Are you looking for a seminar room? Are you planning a business event in an extraordinary location? Do you need rooms for your club meetings?

The house rules are binding on all visitors. By entering the display areas, you accept the regulations.
- Our plants must not be touched, damaged or affected in any other way. The plant population is unique and cannot be replaced.
- Eating and drinking is possible in the courtyard. Smoking is also possible in the courtyard.
- Strollers may be taken into the show areas. But the passages are narrow. Strollers may be temporarily parked in the information room, provided that no closed event is taking place there.

- Large bags and backpacks, umbrellas, rainwear and other bulky items must be deposited in the lockers.
- Teachers, group leaders and guardians are responsible for the appropriate behaviour of children and young people who are accompanied by them.
- Animals are not permitted in the display collection, with the exception of certified assistance dogs.
- Insults, discrimination, racism, sexual harassment and any form of assaultive behaviour towards other visitors and staff will not be accepted.
- The staff has the task of ensuring compliance with the house rules and the safety of people and the plants. Their instructions must therefore be followed at all times.
- Visitors who continue to violate the house rules after instructions have been given may be prohibited from continuing to stay in the show area.
