1. June - 21. November 2025
Location: Botanical Garden
This year, the Botanic Gardens' exhibition is centred around the large family of butterfly plants (Fabaceae). Everyone knows beans, lentils and peas as domestic crops. But the family also has many other impressive food plants, colouring plants, spices, remedies, valuable timber and garden beauties. The topic of nitrogen fixation, coexistence with ants and the leaf movements of the mimosa are also fascinating. Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of Fabaceae. Whether looking at the exhibition panels, reading the exhibition brochure or visiting the numerous events.
The exhibition highlights the various aspects of this unique plant family on 15 large-format, themed panels.
If you like, you can take the wealth of exciting information home with you in the form of the exhibition brochure. It includes all the exhibition content, supplemented by three in-depth guest contributions. The 85-page brochure is available for €12 (plus postage) here in the garden or from the office.
