Vienna’s Hidden Garden Trains Future Florists and Gardeners

In Vienna, Austria, the Kagran school garden educates florists, gardeners, and climate gardeners within a secluded green space. The garden exists thanks to former district mayor Franz-Karl Effenberg, who advocated for its preservation as a school garden and prevented further development. The Kagran garden features themed areas including an Asian garden and a “witch’s garden” alongside historical pavilions.

The garden provides a practical learning environment for students in horticultural trades.

Effenberg has already been honored with a themed garden dedicated to him within the Kagran grounds. The future of the garden relies on continued support to maintain this unique educational space and preserve a pocket of green within the city.
