This time, "Nature in the Garden" takes us to an idyllic beer garden on the edge of the Vienna Woods, explores balcony tomato cultivation, focuses on creeping bugleweed, and presents the "Nature Ideas Garden" at the Tulln Garden Show, offering a wealth of inspiration for climate-resilient, vibrant green spaces. Garden Portrait: Klosterneuburg Till Jelitto's garden in Klosterneuburg opens up to the surrounding landscape, using the impressive view as a central design element. A mix of perennials, grasses, shrubs, a pond by the terrace, and a curved gneiss wall characterize the open structure of the 600-square-meter garden. Influenced by his family's deep-rooted horticultural heritage, Till Jelitto combines personal inspiration, natural design, and mindful care. Gardening and More – Tips from an Organic Gardener: Tomatoes Karl Ploberger shows how tomatoes can still be successfully cultivated in pots even in early June. Generous containers, loose, peat-free substrate with compost, zeolite for water and nutrient retention, and a start with slow-release fertilizer form the basis. Uschi in Bloom: Creeping Bugle Recipe: Bugle Bitter Drink Herbalist Uschi Zezelitsch focuses on creeping bugle, which forms carpets of blue blossoms in meadows and serves as food for numerous insects. Her recipe in this episode is an unusual bugle hangover cure made with bugle tea, tomato juice, lemon juice, and a little baking soda. The Gardeners The gardeners at the Tulln Garden Show present the "Nature Ideas Garden." A rain-fed bed with site-tolerant plants improves the microclimate and biodiversity. A newly constructed dry stone wall demonstrates traditional craftsmanship without mortar. A raised herb bed utilizes the warm climate created by the wall and simultaneously provides habitats such as a "dragon's castle" for small animals.
