Public guided tour of the Hortiplus seed garden

On the guided tour through this garden, you will learn more about the properties of traditional crops, their importance in the present and how they are preserved and cultivated for future generations. Against the backdrop of an over-engineered food industry, consumers are increasingly longing for authenticity and sensuality, regional proximity, animal welfare and environmental protection, health and enjoyment when it comes to food. For a long time, they were not a topic of conversation - the good and proven varieties that grew in vegetable gardens and provided the community with healthy, tasty fresh food. But today, when such varieties are disappearing and are hard to find, they are missed. Here, in the Hortiplus Zollinger seed garden at Ittingen Charterhouse, they are on display. These plants are particularly valuable for growing in your own garden. The one-hour tour takes place outdoors in all weathers. Meeting point at the reception of Ittingen Charterhouse.
