This garden is a contemporary take on the medieval physic garden, also known as Herbularius, which once accommodated a variety of medicinal, aromatic and condiment plants, whose uses were often combined.
The layout is inspired by its position at the mouth of the Pétrusse and Alzette rivers. It offers a diversity of spaces, varying in height and exposure, creating ideal conditions for each plant and bringing the vegetation closer to visitors. The traditional features of the physic garden, such as natural wood panels, raised beds and box trees, have been modernised and adapted to today’s conditions.
Aromatic plants will form the heart of this garden. They are grown and selected with passion in Luxembourg by the Kirsch family of market gardeners who have specialised in aromatic herbs for over 40 years. They will be enhanced by medicinal, flowering and melliferous plants, creating a garden dedicated to health, biodiversity and education.
