Early spring is here

Early spring has begun earlier than in previous years.
The winter aconites have blossomed and have been replaced by snowdrops and March snowdrops.
After the cornelian cherry, the forsythia has now also started to bloom.

Lily of the valley, autumn crocus and wild garlic

We would like to take this opportunity to point out that eating the green leaves of autumn crocus or lily of the valley can be fatal.
The smell test only works with the first wild garlic leaf, after that the smell sits in the nose and on the fingers and every leaf picked now smells like leek.
As all three species grow in the Old Botanical Garden, there is an increased risk of confusion.
There are also many other poisonous plants in our garden, so we ask you to take our ban on picking plant parts very seriously.
This is for your safety.
