Garden-Monument Foerster-Garden
Right in the middle of paradise: music in Potsdam's gardens
Foerster-Garden / Address: Am Raubfang 6, 14469 Potsdam-Bornim
A number of particularly beautiful private gardens in Potsdam open their gates exclusively and host an al fresco home concert. After being greeted by your hosts in person you will find out all about the garden and its history and meet the festival artists up, close and personal. Relax and enjoy superb music with coffee, wine and some small dainties: leave your daily routine behind and enter the magical empire of blossoming gardens.
The "Garden Music" is presented in cooperation with the Friends of the Music Festival Potsdam Sanssouci. We wish to express our gratitude to all garden owners who kindly agreed to open their gardens to us.

description
The Karl-Foerster Garden was created in 1912. This is where Karl Foerster (1874-1970) tested many of his creations through the course of the seasons. The world-famous sunken garden with its pond, the path of spring and the reconstructed stone garden of the seven seasons are at its heart. Daylilies, peonies, astilbes and larkspur in full bloom are all part of the experience. Blossoming groves and old trees surround the entire estate. The garden with the Foerster Residence has been a listed property since 1981. The gardener also wrote many of his philosophy informed books in this rare garden jewel.
