Dahliengarten

Dahliengarten is a botanical garden in Gera focused on cultivating and displaying dahlia flowers. It showcases a large collection of these blooms arranged in sections throughout the grounds that visitors can explore.

This garden was established in 1928 and was among the first places in the world dedicated specifically to displaying dahlias. It was created on the site of a former clay pit and has shaped the green character of western Gera ever since.

This garden is a place where visitors experience the full range of dahlia varieties in bloom. The plants are arranged throughout the space to create a colorful setting that invites wandering and discovery.

The garden is best visited in late summer and early fall when the flowers are at their fullest. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since the paths are not paved throughout.

The grounds include dedicated spaces for local wildlife such as nesting boxes, hedgehog shelters, and bee hotels. These areas show how a garden can provide habitat for the creatures that share the space.
