Knowledge That Applies to Everyday Life

The focus is on the needs of older adults: high-quality nutrition throughout life, well-tolerated foods, and the smart cultivation of fruits and vegetables with high health value. According to the program, Dr. Yvonne Braun will discuss physiological changes in aging and important components of healthy eating such as minerals, dietary fibers, and secondary plant substances. Additionally, Thomas Jaksch will show how cultural management and growing conditions positively influence taste and nutritional value.

Practical, Calm, and Understandable

The seminar combines lectures, tours, and practical examples in a small garden for vegetables and fruits. For many seniors, this mix is particularly valuable: content is conveyed in a way that is relevant to everyday life rather than abstract. This supports social participation, strengthens the sense of security in dealing with nutrition, and creates a communal experience in a relaxed atmosphere.

The new building features wheelchair-accessible elevators, accessible restrooms, and parking for people with disabilities; moreover, the buildings are designed to be BITV- and WCAG-compliant whenever possible.

Health Promotion with a Garden Focus

Especially for people in older age, the topic of health promotion offers real added value: the contents revolve around gentle preparation, nutrient-rich foods, and the connection of movement, fresh air, and nutrition. The seminar thus creates a calm environment for exchange, learning, and new ideas for one's own garden.
