Schulgarten Kagran, Educational garden in Donaustadt, Vienna, Austria

Schulgarten Kagran covers 60,000 square metres in Donaustadt, with about 2,250 square metres of glasshouses and five foil tunnels of roughly 1,800 square metres. It is divided into five training sections: nursery, vegetable growing, glasshouse, landscape, and perennials. More than 3,200 plant species are cultivated here.

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 run by Vienna's city gardens department (MA 42) and is open to the public as well as serving the vocational school for horticulture and floristry. Groups can book guided tours in advance, and tours for deaf visitors are offered on request. The grounds are also used for civil wedding ceremonies with room for about 50 guests.

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.
