Thus a species-rich wilderness was created, which forms a fascinating contrast to the formal medicinal herb and kitchen gardens and the rosarium.Between the beginning of May and mid-August, the baroness opens her gardens on Sundays and public holidays for visitors, who experience a green and colourful blossoming miracle here. Because the enthusiastic gardener is always implementing new ideas. For example, the accompanying planting of her roses changes from year to year. Different varieties of sage and perennials are usually included, as well as dahlias and various grasses, so that the picture of the grounds changes not only from year to year, but even weekly.But the Ippenburg park is best known for its kitchen garden, which is considered the largest and most species-rich of its kind in Germany.
