Schulgarten Kagran

Schulgarten Kagran is an educational garden in Donaustadt featuring separate zones dedicated to different cultivation methods and horticultural practices. The site includes sections for nursery work, vegetable farming, greenhouse operations, landscape design, and perennial plant care.

The site started as a plant overwintering facility in 1912 and became a vocational school for gardeners in 1928. This transformation turned the location into a training center where apprentices could learn practical horticultural skills.

The garden features areas inspired by artists and writers, including a section styled after Claude Monet and another celebrating William Shakespeare. These themed spaces show how plants and gardens connect to culture and creative traditions.

The garden is open from April through October, with extended hours on the first Thursday of each month. Guided visits can be arranged in advance for those who want to learn more about the plants and growing techniques used here.

The garden includes an Asian-inspired section that brings together gardening traditions from other parts of the world. This gives visitors a chance to see how different cultural approaches to plants and landscaping are practiced side by side.
