Garten Tulln

On Friday a friend and I made an excursion to the new Garden Exhibit in Tulln. Tulln is the Garden city of Eastern Austria. This new Exhibit is really a collection of gardens set up to teach and inspire people to do more with their gardens.

You walk along a path past (or through) gardens designed with various purposes in mind. Some concentrate on herbs and vegetables. Others have glorious flowers. Some are mostly rock and gravel. Some are for relaxing, others allow children a place to be active, others have ways for adults to exercise bodies and minds.

If you watch Universum on Austrian television, these gardens may look familiar. There was a program on how the people involved made the natural garden and the very formal garden with sculptures and a labyrinth next door to each other.

Kittsee Museum - last chance!

I would like to refer everyone to my old post about the lovely museum in Kittsee.

I have just read that it is closing at the end of September. I fully intend to get back there this year. I recommend that you do so as well. It may be a long time before the items on display there can be seen again.
