Water garden at the Sündenborn
A garden with several ponds, including a swimming pond, thematically different, spacious garden areas, extensive prairie shrub planting and woodland border planting is home to well over 1,200 plant species and varieties.
The 100 different grasses alone, from Chinese reed to small quaking grass, bring a sense of lightness to the near-natural garden with incomparable views of the surrounding agricultural landscape. The garden is open by appointment from the beginning of May to the end of October. Garden rooms The garden is divided into clearly separated, yet interconnected garden spaces. The direct visual connection between the interior living space and the garden through large terrace windows has absolute priority. The pond garden with the main pond is located directly in front of the terrace. 4 changing seasons Early spring welcomes visitors with daffodils and tulips. Throughout the summer, however, the north-facing "shade garden" is clearly dominated by the shapes and, above all, colors of the hosta. The hostas turn yellow relatively early in the fall, with ferns and faded astilbes taking over the scene. The entire scenery on the north side radiates calm and balance. Here, the garden is constantly evolving into a perennial paradise. Phlox, sunflowers, grasses, but also one or two perennials that prefer less sun-exposed garden areas will find their place here. The cherry tree and parasol provide shade in the summer garden. As the days get longer, the summer garden is in the shade quite early in the afternoon, which is pleasant in midsummer. Then the sunshine warms the south-facing edge of the tall herbaceous meadow until the evening. The direct view of the extensive perennial plantings of the Prairie Garden and the fields behind it is unique.
The Water Garden at Sündenborn in Walkendorf is an extraordinary garden in the heart of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, not far from the German Baltic Sea coast. More than 1,200 plant species and varieties grow on the extensive grounds, including 100 different types of grass alone - from the mighty Chinese reed to the delicate quaking grass. The near-natural grounds offer incomparable views of the surrounding agricultural landscape of the region.
Garden spaces in the Walkendorf water garden: pond, shade and prairie
The garden is divided into clearly delineated yet interconnected garden spaces. Directly in front of the terrace is the pond garden with its main pond, which is also used as a swimming pond. The north-facing shade garden is dominated by hostas, ferns and astilbes, while the prairie garden with its extensive perennial plantings - including phlox, sunflowers and numerous grasses - creates a particularly impressive picture.
Four seasons: Plant changes from May to October
In early spring, daffodils and tulips welcome visitors. In summer, hostas and flowering perennials take over before ferns and yellowing leaves create an atmospheric mood in the fall. The garden is accessible by appointment from the beginning of May to the end of October - a worthwhile excursion for nature lovers and garden enthusiasts exploring the region around Rostock and the Mecklenburg Baltic coast.

However, this nowhere is beautiful and typical of Mecklenburg Parkland. Of course, traditional craftsmanship is also part of it, so we will also take a quick look at a guitar-making workshop and a goldsmith's shop. Welcome to our journey through time from the Ice Age to the present day, from the megalithic tomb to the country castle, from wild nature to the estate park. When? From April to October on Wednesdays, Saturdays or by arrangement Where? We normally start in Dalwitz in the heart of the Mecklenburg Parkland.
