Hellebore Days
29.02. – 02.03.2024
We are very pleased to be able to reopen our garden, the perennial nursery and our Gardenshop including our usual floristic offer for you from Thursday, February 29, 2024 to Saturday, March 2, 2024.
Thursday and Friday, from 10.00 am to 5.00 pm,
Saturday and Sunday, from 10.00 am to 3.00 pm.
Production
Our herbaceous perennials are produced in small quantities with much time and effort. They are not breeded in overheated green houses and get all the time they need for healthy growth. Thus, they are optimally prepared for a long and healthy life in the garden.
Mail order: Unfortunately we do not offer mail order of our plants.
Press Comments
When I made my vision of a garden come true and created the HORTVS in Hilden, I hoped with every ground-breaking, with every plant that contributes to the overall appearance, that this garden will become a meeting place. A meeting place for people and plants as well as a meeting place for garden enthusiasts among themselves.
This vision became real, also due to the numerous national and international reports about my HORTVS.
Range of Plants
In our perennial nursery we specialise in the production and breeding of exceptional plants, shrubs and annuals.
We offer a wide range of garden plants comprising more then 1.200 species, from sun-loving gravel garden and prairie perennials to the great variety of diverse grasses to selected beauties for the shade garden.
In our gardenshop you will find attractive floristry products as well as miscellaneous useful and decorative things for house and garden. Corresponding to our gardening philosophy we offer especially natural cut flowers, reflecting the current seasons and produced bei regional cut flowers nurseries.
Gallery
The garden photographer Jürgen Becker, who has been internationally awarded several times, has accompanied the development of my garden for more than ten years now. I consider our cooperation as a great gift.

Mein Garten im Wandel des Zeitgeistes und des Klimas / My Garden throughout the Changes of general Attitudes and of Climate (Book only available in German language)
Gardens are constantly undergoing changes, expecially due to seasonal alterations. But future confronts us with further questions: How can we deal with increasing global warming? Can we do more to help insects survive? What if the groundwater level keeps falling or if there will be a growing shortage of water? How can I tend my garden in such a way that I will be able to do it, even when I get older? Will my garden, as it is, still look beautiful when it continues developing? And how are we supposed to assess, handle and prepare for the multiple and complex transformation processes in a garden?

Dogs in the Hortvs
Gardens and dogs are not really compatible, therefore our Hortvs very much appreciates dog- free days.
Wheelchairs and Prams in the Hortvs
About the half of our garden is not or only restrictedly accessible to wheelchairs and prams. In the gravel garden this is due to the gravel covered paths and in the woodland garden the trails are unfortunately too narrow. However, even for wheelchair users a visit of the Hortvs is worthwile, since a great many of the beds and plant combinations are accessible across the lawn areas. This restricted visit to our garden remains of course free of charge for the wheelchair user and an accompanying person.
Parking in the Hortvs
During our weekly opening hours you find parking space in our yard or on the lawn area marked as parking site. During our events and in the main season the parking spaces available in the Hortvs are often not sufficient. It takes about ten minutes to walk to the Hortvs from the free parking spaces in the neighbouring residential streets (e.g. Richard-Wagner-Straße) to the south or from the industrial area to the north.
We look forward to your visit!
