Hermannshof, Weinheim (Heidelberg)

At Weinheim visitors can experience further examples of the New German planting style. Also an experimental garden for perennial plants, the Hermannshof is divided into seven different habitats and planted according to soil type to imitate nature.

Applied to small private gardens, modern German planting principles are scaled down here, and it’s exciting to discover which plants can happily co-exist. The fantastic displays include some 2,000 cultivars of herbaceous plants, which flourish in the mild climate of the Heidelberg region.
