Public Tour I September 27, 2026

What is growing there on that damp wall or on the bark, small and easy to overlook? Lichens and mosses – the unsung heroes of our ecosystems – can indicate air quality and direction, and can also be used in medicine and sustainable urban planning.


It’s time to pay tribute to these unsung heroes on this tour through the plant geography and the Great Tropical House.


On this Sunday tour, you’ll experience the unique exhibits on a walk through the outdoor grounds – or, in the event of rain or cold weather, in the greenhouses. Discover the seasonal highlights!
