Public guided tour on November 16: Tropical medicinal and useful plants
Ornamental ginger (Hedychium horsfieldii) is related to ginger (Zingiber officinale), which with its warming, antibacterial properties can be a useful plant during the cold season.
The cold, wet November weather doesn't tempt us out the door much at the moment. So it's high time for a trip to the tropics! In the middle of Dresden, you can immerse yourself in the diverse plant world of the tropical climate zones of Asia, Africa and Central and South America in two show greenhouses at the Botanical Garden. Next Sunday, 16.11.2025 , district gardener Ina Freudenberg will present tropical medicinal and useful plants from around the globe during a public tour. The focus will be on well-known and less well-known spices, fruits, medicinal and fiber plants, edibles and starch suppliers. The meeting point is 10 a.m. in the entrance area of the garden at Stübelallee 2.
All public tours are free of charge - donations welcome! Registration is not required.
