From Paradise Garden to Permaculture: An Evening about the Future of Gardening

On Monday, October 12, 2026, VHS Bonn in Bad Godesberg invites you to a free evening that brings together garden culture, history, and sustainable thinking. The event is part of the series Biological Diversity in the City and will take place from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM in Room 05 of VHS at Michaelshof. The course will be led by Alessandra Moog, who, as a literary and cultural scientist, journalist, and certified permaculture designer, brings a uniquely versatile perspective on gardening.

Gardens as a Mirror of Culture and Society

The evening connects historical perspectives with current issues of sustainability. The focus is on the development of the garden from the idealized paradise space to a practical, resilient living space that promotes biodiversity and functions even on a small scale. VHS Bonn describes the series as an offer with practical information and concrete tips for gardens, front gardens, and balconies.

Knowledge with Practical Relevance

Particularly exciting is the connection between cultural history and permaculture. According to the course description, it is about how the concepts of the garden as an adornment and utility space have changed and how the cultural space of the garden can be rethought today to strengthen resilience and biodiversity. Alessandra Moog's professional signature further emphasizes this approach. ([vhs-bonn.de](https://www.vhs-bonn.de/page_/VhsConnectSearch/courseJump?courseId=484-C-N1772&rowIndex=12))

Atmosphere in the House of VHS

The event takes place in a compact, personal setting: 5 to 50 seats, starting in the early evening. The course location at Am Michaelshof 2 in Bad Godesberg is accessible 100 percent barrier-free according to VHS Bonn. For travel, VHS recommends the VRS travel information; private parking is not available at many teaching locations, so public parking and parking garages are the most sensible option.

This event is worthwhile for anyone who wants to experience sustainable gardening, urban nature, and new ideas for more biodiversity live.
