Pflanzenvielfalt erleben – Von Saatgut bis Genuss!

In the organizer's words:

With delicious food from a top chef, lots of information on sustainability and useful plants from experts and seeds for planting, the gardening season starts on Sunday, March 16, in the City and State Library - from 2 to 5 p.m. in Studio B.

A tomato is just a tomato? The diversity of tomatoes and the fact that only some of them are red will be one of the topics at the Dortmund City and State Library on Sunday, March 16. There will be information stands about seeds and also some to take home from the seed library - rare tomatoes, for example. During keynote speeches on useful plants and urban gardening, you can also learn about particularly diverse tomatoes. In keeping with the theme, top chef Mario Kalweit will not only present his "tomato collection", but will also serve a tomato quiche.

Hendrik Denkhaus and Stefan Sirigu from Rombergpark Botanical Gardens will provide exciting insights into the history and future of cultivated plants. Jens Woelki from "Querbeet" will show how community gardening can make the city greener and more edible.

Free admission on Sunday, March 16, from 2 p.m. in Studio B of the City and State Library.
