At a total of eight stations, key information about grassland cultivation is presented concisely and clearly. Visitors can expect demonstrations on nutrient deficiencies, reseeding, and biodiversity, as well as demonstration gardens where various arable crops and high-quality seed mixtures have been cultivated. In the soil-water-root demonstration cellar, those interested can learn more about soil as a vital resource, with all its diverse functions.
The clearly structured, self-contained thematic areas provide additional information about the most important cultivated plants of the Alpine region and the effects of a changing climate. At the same time, visitors gain insight into the research work of the Institute for Plant Production and Cultural Landscape.
The opening of the cultural show garden took place on June 22, 2022.
