Weeds, wild plants, useful plants – invasive or decorative – what criteria do people use to judge the plants in their environment? The artist Ulrike Mohr recorded the plants of a disused garden (plot 3) before it was redesigned in a semi-wild state in order to create a new garden that follows different rules – the garden of grace.
In the summer of 2020, the garden was transformed into a wild, flowering field of poppies with countless wild herbs. Over 50 different wild and cultivated plants were dug up in collaboration with gardener Sabine Kroehs and the seeds of all the annual plants were harvested. The first phase of the project can be viewed before completion and will be finalised in the coming days through sowing and growth.
Ulrike Mohr (*1970 in Tuttlingen) is a visual artist. She studied at the Weißensee School of Art. In her works, she examines cultural techniques that have emerged from man's coexistence with nature.
Admission to the art projects and the exhibition pavilion in the garden is free. We cordially invite you to view the projects individually. All projects are shown outdoors and in the fresh air. We also recommend a walk through the gardens, which have already been honoured with numerous awards for their diversity.
