First children's summer festival in the botanical garden: fun for the whole family!

In the heart of Chemnitz, a very special day for young and old will be celebrated on Saturday, July 12th: the first children's summer festival in the botanical garden. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the botanical garden, located on Leipziger Straße 147, invites all interested, especially families with children, to a colorful program. This promises exciting hours full of education and fun!

The varied program awaits the small festival participants: You can not only have contact with dogs, ponies and alpacas, but also take two tours of the animals in the garden. Would you like real nose samples? The "nose challenge" allows an olfactory exploration of the flora. For the sporting nature lovers there is a hobby horsing competition for which registration by email to botanischergarten@stadt-chemnitz.de

colorful activities and more

Of course, the classics should not be missing: face painting ensures bright faces and plant sales invite you to take home one or the other green darling. A slimmed -down flea market rounds off the offer and also gives bargain hunters at your money's worth. The festival is organized by the sponsoring association of the botanical garden, which prepares the event with a lot of passion. More information is available on the website www.botga-chemnitz.de .

But not only in Chemnitz something is happening in the botanical gardens in Germany. In almost every federal state there are these green oases that present both locals and foreign plant species. There are almost 100 botanical gardens across Germany that are of interest to plant lovers. Some of them are particularly worth it for a longer journey, especially during the flowering period. Examples of this are the botanical garden of the Ruhr University Bochum with its impressive showwasher or the botanical garden Berlin Dahlem, which houses over 22,000 plant species. The palm garden in Frankfurt also captivates with its tropical and subtropical plant species and an impressive palm house.

With these diverse offers, the first children's summer festival in the botanical garden in Chemnitz will certainly be an unforgettable day for the whole family. So a good reason to mark Saturday, July 12th, in the calendar and enjoy the green idyll!
