Flowers, Knowledge and Weihenstephan: The tour in the Perennial Trial Garden
The trial garden Weihenstephan in Freising opens on August 2, 2026, a particularly vibrant discovery experience for garden enthusiasts, nature lovers, and anyone wanting to experience local history in nature. The public tour combines botanical expertise with an atmospheric city tour in the spacious teaching and experimental garden of the Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University.
A garden that makes knowledge visible
The trial garden is considered a significant place for garden culture and plant use. Over more than five hectares, perennials, shrubs, and new rose varieties are tested for their usability. Those who wander here experience a multifaceted plant show with borders, lush summer flowers, diverse perennial undergrowth, steppe-heath-like plantings, rock garden installations, as well as ponds and water basins.
Historical Depth on the Weihenstephan Campus
The Weihenstephan Gardens have a long tradition dating back to the old Benedictine monastery of Weihenstephan. Today, they uniquely combine research, teaching, and public accessibility. This is precisely what makes this tour so appealing: it not only conveys beautiful impressions but also the cultural and scientific background of a place that is well known beyond Bavaria.
What makes the tour special
The tour lasts about 90 minutes and offers a compact yet intense look at the design, use, and care of perennials and shrubs. The focus is on color-coordinated borders, site-appropriate plantings for various living areas, and the interaction between architecture, nature, and seasons. This creates an authentic discovery experience for anyone wanting to get to know Freising from its green side.
Practical Information for Your Visit
The public tour takes place at the entrance of the trial garden. The garden is well connected to public transport, and there are parking facilities and restrooms available. For independent visits, daily opening hours from April to October are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is free, making the visit particularly attractive.
Conclusion
This tour combines botanical expertise, scenic beauty, and the special atmosphere of the Weihenstephan campus into a culturally enriching excursion. Anyone wanting to experience Freising anew should mark this date and plan the free tour in the Perennial Trial Garden in good time.
