Surrounded by allotment gardens and an adjoining orchard meadow belt, the MainÄppelHaus Lohrberg Streuobstzentrum e.V. is located in the Lohrpark, which was created in 1924. In the tradition of ‘gardening advice’, the centre maintains and teaches about orchards and runs courses on nature and environmental topics. During our visit, we will get to know the centre and walk through an orchard. We will also take part in the workshop ‘Making your own herbal soap’, where we will use flowers and wild herbs to make fragrant and colourful soap.

The workshop will be held in English and will last approximately 100 minutes. In total we will spend about 3 hours on the Lohrberg.

Afterwards we will have a nice (and optional) get-together in a café!

In January, we invite you to partake in a free painting session („Freies Malen“) hosted by the Kunstforum of TU Darmstadt. With its open painting space, the Kunstforum of TU Darmstadt makes its contribution to maintaining one's health and strengthening one's resilience.

In free painting, we let ourselves be inspired by the many bright colours that we only need to use. We paint spontaneously and intuitively, playing with colours and shapes. Artistic skills or knowledge of special techniques is not required, as the emphasis is on the experience of the painting process and less on the goal of achieving a finished, perfect picture.
