Garden magic

Garden magic – that's the world of Katja Hildebrandt. With the idea of ​​a garden festival on one's own doorstep, the Hamburg native founded the garden festival of the same name in 2000 at the charming Bissenbrook estate near Neumünster. Since then, thousands of garden lovers from across northern Germany have looked forward to these magical events twice a year, each featuring over 150 select exhibitors. Northern Germany's most popular garden festival not only features perennials, shrubs, seeds, rare plants, gardening tools, and all kinds of garden accessories, but also exhibitors with clothing, jewelry, bags, paintings, barbecues, delicious treats, and much more.

Online gardening is absolutely contemporary, wonderfully weather-independent, and enticing at any time of year and day. Therefore, our own garden portal went online in March 2013. There you'll find not only a practical calendar with all plant markets, garden festivals, and seminars, as well as everything related to the Garden Magic Festivals. In a comprehensive and attractively illustrated online magazine, you can browse to your heart's content and be inspired by plant portraits, design tips, garden reports, practical tips, delicious recipes, book presentations, and much more... And the Facebook gardening community is also constantly growing.

The Gartenzauber online shop has finally been available since February 2014. Hobby gardeners, garden enthusiasts, and fans of beautiful design can find beautiful and useful items for the garden, kitchen, and home. Garden enthusiasts and anyone with a passion for gardens will find everything there to enhance their gardening life.
