Späth'sche Baumschulen

Since 1720, the extensive grounds of Späth'sche Nurseries in Berlin-Treptow have stood for vibrant garden culture on historic soil. As Germany's oldest tree nursery, it combines one of Berlin's largest plant markets with garden seminars, show gardens, and a guesthouse under trees that you won't soon forget.

Späth’sche Nurseries: Berlin’s Green Memory

The Späth’sche Nurseries in Berlin-Treptow were founded in 1720, making them Berlin’s oldest producing company. What this means in practice is immediately palpable upon entering the grounds: it smells of earth, herbs, and a real garden here. Over 80,000 available plants are ready, from balcony flowers, garden perennials, and fruit trees to rare trees for park facilities and climate-resistant urban trees. So, anyone who needs concrete garden tips and wants to shop at the same time is in the right place here. Show gardens for grasses, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, ready-made hedges, natural stones, and sculptures complement the offerings and make the visit a real tour. The offer is particularly strong for those who want to try their hand at urban gardening: over 300 varieties of culinary and medicinal herbs, wild perennials, cuttings, and hardy, year-round harvestable container plants are available when the herb days open the season in spring.

Garden Market, Seminars, and More

The Späth’sche Nurseries continuously expand their seminar offerings and provide courses for hobby gardeners and professionals, led by specialized in-house gardeners who provide tips that go far beyond any garden textbook. Those who want to delve deeper can book one of the popular woody plant pruning courses or workshops on planters and balcony boxes. Garden markets, spring festivals, autumn festivals, plant shows, readings, and seminars are part of the permanent event calendar. Furthermore, the grounds offer culinary hotspots: Späth’s Guesthouse, Späthi’s Beer Garden, a farm shop, and an herb garden provide culinary specialties. So, anyone who needs a break after an extensive garden market visit will find the perfect stop here. The grounds also feature places of relaxation such as the garden biotope at the carp pond, a woody plant variety garden, the Weltacker Berlin, an orchard area, and several show gardens. In short: Späth’sche Nurseries are far more than just a tree nursery. They are Berlin’s green knowledge space that thrives all season long.
