Guided tour with Leonie Korbach and Max Wenzel | Admission: 12 euros | Meeting point: 17498 Wampen, Boddenblick

We are Leonie Korbach and Max Wenzel from Wilde Flora. As a landscape architect and a biologist, we set up our flower field in Wampen, near Greifswald, in early 2022. Here, we grow cut flowers – known as ‘slowflowers’ – using sustainable methods and also create floral arrangements from them. This combination of cut-flower cultivation and floristry is known as ‘farmer floristry’. Our flowers come in a wide variety of forms, ranging from simple bouquets and wreaths to more elaborate floral designs for weddings or other events.

We are also part of the Slowflower movement, a collective of flower farmers, farmer-florists and floral designers from the DACH region. The collective was founded in 2019 by seven people and has since grown into an association comprising over 350 members. As full members, we are committed to clear guidelines, which include, amongst other things, not using pesticides or mineral fertilisers, practising circular economy principles, and avoiding single-use plastic in floristry. The movement’s three guiding principles are: seasonality, regionality and sustainability.

During the guided tour, we’ll talk about our cultivation practices, introduce the types of cut flowers in our field and provide insights into the further processing of the flowers right through to the finished bouquet.

Anyone who wishes to do so is warmly invited to wander through the flower field after the tour and pick flowers of their choice. If you’d like, we’ll be happy to assist you with flower arranging and share some tips and tricks. The cost of your own bouquet is calculated based on the number of stems.
