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. Because who else digs, shovels, and gardens in rubber boots and a nightgown? Exactly, only "Katrinchen," as she is affectionately called by her fans. And there are quite a few of them now—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"; and in late summer, Book No. 3 will follow: "With Heart & Fork Through Katrin's Gardening Year 2025"). Born and raised in Altmark, she now lives in Himbergen in the Lüneburg Heath. Can a place sound more like a garden? Probably not. And right there lies her garden. Her retreat. The source 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 organic fertilizer accidentally ends up on the Christmas tree, only "Head Gardener" Tyson, Katrin's dachshund, is thrilled. Together, they form an unbeatable team when it comes to planning, caring for, and nurturing. Then there's Waldemar, the husband, who thinks the fat hen belongs more in the chicken coop. And when Katrin advises "to take out," 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 whole new 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 here; 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.
