Alter Botanischer Garten Hamburg
The Alter Botanischer Garten Hamburg, sometimes also known as the Schaugewächshaus or the Tropengewächshäuser, is a botanical garden now located primarily within greenhouses in the Planten un Blomen park at Stephansplatz, Hamburg, Germany. It is open daily without charge.
The garden is located on the site of Hamburg's old botanical garden at the city wall, established 1821 by Professor Johann Georg Christian Lehmann (1792–1860). Its alpine garden was established in 1903; most plants were subsequently moved to the new Botanischer Garten Hamburg in 1979. Herbal and medicinal plantings are clustered around the city's former moat. Today's gardens consist primarily of five interconnected greenhouses, total area 2,800 m², built 1962–1963 by architect Hermkes Bernhard (1903–1995), as follows:
Schaugewächshaus (Show Greenhouse) - with a subtropical focus on the Mediterranean region and Canary Islands, South Africa, and sclerophyllous zones in California and southern Chile, containing trees such as laurel and olive, various coniferous trees such as Araucaria, palm trees, eucalyptus, and tree ferns.
Farnhaus - ferns.
Palmfarnhhaus - ancient plants described in 1834 by Professor Johann Georg Christian Lehmann (1792–1860).
Succulent house - succulent plants from the dry regions, particularly the semi-deserts of Africa and the Americas.
Tropical house - about 800 m² area, maximum height of 13 meters, containing tropical plants from throughout the world, with a focus on South American plants and tropical crops.
The garden contains special collections of Aizoaceae (30,000 accessions representing about 1,500 species), Orchidaceae (about 2,500 accessions), Bambusoideae, Begoniaceae, Bromeliaceae, Cycadaceae, Masdevallia, Piperaceae, and Zingiberaceae

Summer in the Garden from 'The Courts',NT
My husband has scanned me some pictures, that I can show you now! We are members of the National Trust of England and like to visit the gardens and houses of the NT. Some of them I have visited to different times ofthe year.
This is 'The Courts' in Holt, nearby Bath in England. This Garden is one of the best, I have ever seen. It is an insider's tip, really.
This Hotel ist for Marion. Where is it, Marion? I think you know it!
It is in the neighbourhood of a graveyard!

Good morning, the sky is blue today and we will get a little warmer today. My cats needs going in the garden each day. In the Moment they sit at the oven - because wood burning gives three warm cats!
You see a part of our garden in June last year. We have heavy clay soil, its a hard work to do the garden!
