Spring is in full swing! And boy have the green-fingered folks at Prinzessinnengarten Kollektiv been busy: sowing, planting, pruning, composting and – following a record dry spell in March and April – praying for rain. If, on the other hand, you’ve been procrastinating and are still staring at a barren balcony or bare window boxes, the horticulturists on Hermannstraße will be only too happy to help. This Saturday (03.05.2025) the community garden – based at St. Jacobi-Friedhof near Tempelhofer Feld since relocating from Moritzplatz in 2020 – is hosting a seedling sale where you can pick up young plants raised on the 7.5-hectare site. Besides getting some new shoots for your old pots, you can spend the day seeing what the relocated Prinzessinnengarten has been doing – which, as it turns out, is quite a lot: a community garden with 100 raised beds, a cafe serving organic weekday lunches, an event space in the old chapel and free workshops on everything from beekeeping to seed saving. Guided tours of the garden run at 13h and 16h on Saturday, but the site is really always open to everyone. Check out the website for the weekly gardening days and upcoming events and get ready to roll up your sleeves…
