Special children's department

There is a special department for children with books and games based on nature and other things to do. For children with green fingers we have specially adapted garden tools, children's wheelbarrows, child-size gardening boots and a separate range of seeds including "Plop the gnome".  

At the gift & bookshop, you are in the right place for original, educational children's gifts.

Original wrapping with plant designs

We will be pleased to wrap gifts in original, festive wrapping. At holiday times and according to the seasons the wrapping has a plant theme to give your gifts that extra touch.

Around Christmas and New Year, there are no long queues and you can enjoy a cup of coffee in peace in the cafeteria while your presents are wrapped with the greatest care.
