Open Gardens Uckermark: Garden at the Rectory Templin

A garden does not belong to anyone alone. That is why the garden at the rectory next to the Maria Magdalenen Church in Templin is open daily, not just on the weekends of the Open Gardens Uckermark. What makes a garden so special? The variety of plants and beds? Its size or the work we assume lies behind it? A garden wants to provide space for the soul and to make us pause. It becomes easier to take our foot off the "gas pedal" there. Beautiful gardens are places of peace that attract us like a magnet, no matter how differently we may "tick." In those places, contrasts suddenly become less important. In the garden, we also come closer to the great connections of life than elsewhere: the cycle of growth and decay, the beauty of nature that no human hand can replicate, and the realization that what sustains us and truly nourishes us often requires no effort on our part and is frequently beyond our control.
