Schau- und Sichtungsgarten Hermannshof

The Hermannshof garden is a botanical and trial garden in Weinheim with naturalistic themed areas displaying different types of plants. The site presents systematically arranged collections throughout landscaped spaces.

The grounds have roots going back over 200 years and were acquired in 1888 by the Freudenberg industrial family, who transformed them into a scientific institution. This takeover marked the beginning of its development as a modern trial garden.

The garden functions as a place where visitors learn about plant cultivation and nature-based garden design through regular programs and guided tours. Many people come here to discover how to create and maintain green spaces in sustainable ways.

The grounds welcome visitors daily with free admission and provide information about plants currently in bloom. A visit works without time pressure, and information materials help you navigate through the different garden areas.

A special section displays North American prairie plants adapted for central European conditions that serve as models for sustainable gardens. This collection shows how plants from distant regions can be integrated into local landscapes.
