Travel projects 2013

In 2013 a total of 10.000 € were planned for seven travel projects.

Dresden - Talca (Chile):

The Botanical Garden of the University of Dresden continues the existing gardeners exchange between Dresden and Talca. The costs of room and board in Talca will be covered by the University of Talca.

News: We asked the ZEIT-Stiftung and we are very pleased, that they take over the costs for this exchange!

Travelling from the Botanical Garden Hamburg, 3 gardeners follow the invitation of the Botanical Garden of Bukarest. The Department of crops is the focus. The accommodation was covered by the Botanical Garden Bukarest.

Hamburg - Appalachian Mountains (USA):

Two gardeners went on a 2-3 week collecting trip in the Appalachian Region.

Bonn - England:

For a short journey, a gardender from the Botanical Garden Bonn went to various English gardens for snowdrop blooms.

For a botanical trip to Switzerland  the Foundation supported a travel subsidy for two gardeners of the Botanical Garden Bonn.
