Loki-Schmidt Botanical Garden 4K60 UHD – Hamburg Walking Tour

The plants in the gardens represent a variety of small ecosystems: from a crops section and a German forest to a farmer’s garden including a small farmhouse, many different indigenous plants find a home in the project. Other plants are more exotic to these parts: a botanical trip around the northern hemisphere takes you through a Mediterranean, a boreal, and an alpine section. You can wade through the Everglades and walk under the Spanish moss of Louisiana. Next up, cross the desert to wind up in China to find a temple donated by the city of Shanghai. The Japanese section was designed by architect Yoshikuni Araki, who was also responsible for the Japanese gardens in Planten un Blomen park. Rose, shrub and rhododendron sections, as well as an area on ‘Biblical plants’, round out the experience.

To learn more about the plants on offer, there are regular tours through the gardens, after which you can refresh yourself at Café Palme. With newly gathered energy, the nearby Jenischpark and Ernst Barlach Haus could be next up on your trip into Altona precinct.
