| Aloys Finken / Kriemhild Finken | | The Magic of Older Gardens | | France |
Names such as Bois Richeux, Fontevraud or Villandry make the hearts of garden aficionados beat a little faster. Less well known, perhaps, are the gardens of La Bourdaissière or Marqueyssac. But all have something in common: they have been lovingly restored by their owners in recent decades, giving rise to medieval herb gardens with raised beds or baroque gardens with ornamental vegetables and unusual forms, sumptuous Renaissance gardens or old cloister gardens. |

The principle is simple: a transparent container with a good seal is upended over a container of earth and placed in the light. Inside it are various plants, which remain alive and even continue to grow profusely – without any further air circulation, additional water or nutrients. The effort involved is minimal. |

| Stephanie Hauschild / Christina Kratzenberg | | My Windowsill Herb Garden | | Growing Fresh Herbs Indoors |
Fresh herbs are a very special pleasure in the cold months of the year. There is no need to resort to expensive and ecologically questionable imports from the grocery store: fragrant leaves from your own windowsill, stairway or sunroom maintain a little of that summer feeling and lend a fresh, sunny note to food and teas. Their essential oils and other active substances strengthen the immune system against wintertime viruses and lift our spirits. |
