Discover Lörrachs Green Idyll: Natural exploitation opens doors!

On Tuesday, June 17, 2025, the city of Lörrach invites all interested parties to visit the enchanting “nature discover garden”. The tour begins at 6 p.m. on Konrad-Adenauer-Straße, right next to the tennis court. Here visitors can expect a place that not only offers relaxation, but also represents a small paradise for domestic flora and fauna. The project, launched by committed district residents, has been operated by the Naturzdeckergarten e.V. Association since 2008 and includes an area of ​​around 2,500 square meters in the Stetten-Süd.

In the Natureskdergarten, there is also a damp ditch, a orchard and berry bushes and a vegetable patch. This variety of plants and habitats should not only serve the preservation and presentation of domestic plants, but also offer numerous animals, from butterflies to lizards. The aim of this project is to maintain the original cultural landscape and at the same time create a natural history area for residents who invites you to relax. "What grows there is not always growing according to our plans," explains a member of the association, "we often had to be flexible to create the best conditions." It is particularly gratifying that natural developments such as the emergence of a small pond have also developed suitable planting areas.

a garden that offers more than just plants

The nature conveyor garden not only promotes biodiversity, but also offers access to valuable knowledge of the healing power of plants. In the garden you can find marshmallow and evening primrose, which are known for their positive effects in respiratory diseases and stress. These aspects alone show how important urban gardens are for awareness of biodiversity. According to das-wissen.de , such gardens can act as ecosystems and are crucial for the promotion of endangered species in urban.

However, the association faces challenges. The situation is tense financially because the income from membership fees are limited. There is currently only one of the originally three existing benches in the garden that can be used for relaxation and encounter. One bank was stolen, another is defective. In addition, the maintenance of the lean meadow, which must be mowed twice a year, is due because the previous farmer canceled. So there is a need for support and donations to promote the redesign and maintenance of the garden.

a place for everyone

The Naturesdeckergarten is more than just a project - it is a meeting point for residents and nature lovers. The city of Lörrach is also actively committed to such green oases and has promoted the idea of ​​the "lively gardens" in recent years, which is supported by the collaboration of round table climate, federal and city Lörrach. Not only is the goal of promoting a high variety of plants, but also created social and aesthetic advantages for the city.

If you want to learn more about the nature conveyor garden, the members of the association are ready to meet in the garden on Mondays at 5 p.m. Contact can be made by email at any time. Use the opportunity to discover one of the most beautiful retreats in Lörrach and to find out about the importance of urban gardens for biodiversity. Because today in which urbanization progresses and natural habitats are threatened, it is particularly important to preserve and promote such places as retreat areas.
