Whether you are a budding gardener, a blossoming enthusiast or a mature horticulturist the Classic Gardens of Germany offer a fragrant variety of architectural designs and flora & fauna to simply enjoy or gain inspiration from.
Today, the urban landscape in Germany reflects a new commitment to ecology and the environment. 
Like Berlin, Germany's capital, which is considered to be the "greenest" of Europe's great cities, and all over the country there are so many other attractions for the enthusiast and ordinary visitor alike, such as Westpark in Munich, Hanover Herrenhausen, the Wilhelma in Stuttgart and the Palmengarten in Frankfurt.
