Table of Contents: Berlin Bound

May 4, 2015

After Christine and Sarah headed to Berlin recently, the city’s vibrancy and eco-forward attitude excited them so much that we decided to devote a week to German garden design and outdoor spaces. Reports Sarah: “There is a collective sense of enjoying the day-to-day, not racing through time.”

Join us as we take it one story at a time:

Monday

Above: For this week’s installment of our Gardenista 100: Best of 2015, we round up our favorite German beer garden tables (practical and stylish, outdoors or in).

Tuesday

Above: Born in 1874, German horticulturalist Karl Foerster was as much plant sociologist as nurseryman; his plant crosses resulted in some today’s most popular perennial grass varieties. This week Kendra explores the tradition of Pflanzensoziologie and other Garden Ideas to Steal from Germany.
