Katrin Iskam - Gardening Without Much Fuss

She is notorious, she is unique, and she is definitely crazy. She doesn't just have ONE green thumb, but two of them. "Gardening without much fuss" is not only her motto but also the title of her current live tour. We are talking about Katrin Iskam, a trained and active nurse, but above all, the hottest discovery in the local gardening scene. After all, who digs, shovels, and buries in rubber boots and a nightgown? Exactly, only "Katrinchen," as she is affectionately called by her fans. And there are now quite a few of them—almost 200,000 on her Instagram page @katrinsgarten, which won 1st place at the German Garden Book Awards. The self-taught gardener is a successful garden influencer and a SPIEGEL bestselling author (2022 "With Wit, Charm, and Method – The Slightly Different Gardening Book"; 2023 "Go Big or Go Home: Garden Design with @katrinsgarten"; Book No. 3, "With Heart & Fork Through Katrin's Garden Year 2025," will follow in late summer). Born and raised in Altmark, she now lives in Himbergen in the Lüneburg Heath. Can a place of residence sound more like a garden? Probably not. And that's exactly where it is: her garden. Her retreat. The origin of all her creative katrinsgarten constructions. And the breeding ground for countless incredible stories. The nightly snail rescue almost ends up at the police station. And when the natural fertilizer accidentally lands on the Christmas tree, only "head gardener" Tyson, Katrin's dachshund, is thrilled. Together, they make an unbeatable team when it comes to planning, caring for, and nurturing. Then there's Waldemar, the husband, who prefers the fat hen to be in the chicken coop. And when Katrin suggests "culling," it's always with the best intentions. In "Gardening without much fuss," Katrin Iskam serves up plenty of practical tips and just as many funny anecdotes. "Happy Garden" in a completely different way. And if someone happens to get lost in Himbergen and stands in front of her door, "Katrinchen" has a down-to-earth and preventive piece of advice ready: Burglary is pointless at my place; the money is in the garden. All this and much more can be found in "Gardening without much fuss," the live program by and with Katrin Iskam.
