This is the complete accompanying programme of the exhibition »FLORA – When Roots Grow Wonders«.
FLORA did not set out to be a repository of knowledge alone. FLORA wanted to be experienced and shaped by its visitors, and to make the environment around us tangible and open to change.
Between 8 May and 23 August 2026, more than 70 events came together: workshops, city walks, holiday research programmes for children and young people, lectures, guided tours, pharmacy visits, herb walks and, again and again, hands-on formats. The focus lay on shaping green spaces, cities and living environments, on climate, food and healing knowledge, on exploring recipes, and on experiencing nature and greenery in town and countryside.
