Diversity

The Steinschaler Gardens are not architecturally-scale green spaces. Dynamic, like the entire hotel operation, they always look a bit different, change seasonally its appearance and shape and are from year to year more species-rich and structurally diverse.

Summing up the two sites Steinschalerhof and Stone Doerfl together, there is a wide range of location-wet locations, average garden creditworthiness and extreme rock locations. This allows for many cultivated and wild plants of the "right" course offered and so the Steinschaler Gardens accommodate several hundred plant species.

To still keep track of this abundance, it requires good experts. The group manages the gardens and remove it consistently. In the case of Steinschaler Gardens woman organizes the garden workflows. The garden manager Frieda is mainly responsible for the gardens and is (almost) always be found somewhere in the plants.

Biodiversity

In the numerous gardens of Steinschaler different establishments, partly very ancient plant species are cultivated.

Many of the cultivated plants are - based on the Lower Austrian average garden - unusual. Here mix old, lost vegetable species and varieties cultivated with wild plants and crops from around the world.

Despite the existing species abundance is still room for experimentation, where guests can gain insights. As a result, knowledge can be passed on to interested parties. Partly already forgotten plant species can so with visitors again be recalled.

Special:

What the Steinschaler Gardens makes it so special is the fact that there are vegetable gardens, from which continually food, medicinal and aromatic plants can be removed. The gardens are also flagship gardens for the permaculture concept and the very 'natural garden management.'

At the same time they are a good example of that vegetable gardens can be very aesthetically pleasing and beautiful.

Hugo from Hofmannsthal:
"There is basically nothing that the densities is so close as to reshape a piece of living nature of his imagination."
