About Garden Dreams
50 historic parks and gardens are among the Garden Dreams in Saxony-Anhalt. These are just a representative sample of the more than 1,000 gardens in the state, chosen because they
- reflect the history of garden design in Saxony-Anhalt from the Baroque to the present
- present various types of gardens: monastery gardens, botanical gardens, palace parks, and many more
- are attractive tourist destinations in Saxony-Anhalt.
The Garden Dreams Mission:
- restore and maintain historic gardens,
- improve their attractiveness to tourists and the economic sustainability of the parks
- develop and expand "Garden Dreams" as a key tourism brand for Saxony-Anhalt
- provide information about garden design and the preservation of historic gardens
- strengthen lobbying for parks and gardens to ensure their survival for future generations
