The "Mecklenburg Switzerland" woody plant collection contains 300 perennials and 400 woody plants. In addition to the plants, sculptures by various artists, 100 roof tiles from historic buildings from all over Europe and 70 cobblestones from historic streets and squares are displayed on 2 hectares.
The botanical garden contains 300 different perennials and 400 woody plants. The birch collection with 25 different species is one of the most important in Mecklenburg. The woody plants include a cross-section of species and continents. The individual woody plant families such as beech, maple, lime, chestnut, etc. have 12 to 18 species. There are 4 to 5 species per family on display. The garden is in bloom from spring to fall. It starts with Japanese cherry (3 colors), forsythia (2 colors) and continues with chestnut (3 colors), fruit tree blossom, lilac (8 forms), roses (20 species), water lilies (10 colors), ornamental shrubs (15 species) and hardy hibiscus (11 colors). The roses then conclude with their second bloom. In 5 small raised bogs, the variety of bog flora is shown with pitcher plants, sundew, orchids and typical bog trees and shrubs. The two bog-forming mosses are shown in a basin. The 100 m² show garden offers the possibility of partial self-sufficiency. It includes 2 raised beds, a herb bed, apple tree, white sweet cherry, white currant, gooseberry, yokeberry, mountain ash and a greenhouse. The greenhouse can be used as a hobby in the form of a cactus collection and the cultivation of vegetable plants. Next to the greenhouse is a small raised bog with orchids and a rock garden with hardy cacti. The show garden demonstrates that it is possible to combine a hobby and the supply of fruit and vegetables in a small area. It is intended to provide inspiration and encourage an exchange of ideas.
