Want to get active yourself? As a Flower Power Special, the BIOTOPIA Lab offers a changing programme every weekend with open and free workshops on flowers, blossoms, nature and biodiversity. The whole family can take part.

Building your own garden in a bottle or understanding the secret of the "colours of the tulips" – in the BIOTOPIA Lab you can find out how it works. If you want to experiment with edible flowers, you can learn about the benefits of nasturtiums or cornflowers – some of which are freshly harvested from the raised beds. Handmade paper dyed with roses can be decorated with pressed blossoms. And in the experiment "The Colours of Tulips", the secrets of nature are explored.

Under the microscope, visitors can observe aquatic plants of local waters up close or learn how "fast-growing plants" create several generations in a very short time.

Which course will take place when will be published on the website at short notice.
