This living pool of ideas helps all garden fans who are considering a new or supplementary design for their own patch of green. Furthermore, experts give answers to all kinds of questions concerning gardening practice during the annual garden days in spring.
Flower beds with perennial herbaceous plants inspired by those found in England can be admired in the transition area to the historical castle park. They have been maintained by friends of the National Trust in Germany since 2005, who have thus realised their first own project at Schloss Dyck. Most people know their zodiac signs, but only few know which tree is assigned to their time of birth. The Celtic tree calendar, which is also located in the front part of the park, provides the solution here. Various types of historical gardens from the past hundred years can also be seen in this area. The youngest visitors will enjoy the maze playground with its tree house. Older children will be challenged by the climbing garden in a former dried up moat between the model gardens and the spacious park.
