Gardens for Sweet Tooths.

To make your snack garden not only a culinary highlight but also a visual one, you can create a plan in which you include all the elements of your desired garden, such as the patio, paths, flower beds, shrubs, trees, and decorative elements. Then, start marking out the individual elements in your garden, and you're ready to go.

The snacking doesn't stop at berries and fruits by a long shot; many vegetables also don't have to wait long for little children's mouths. Most kids love carrots, radishes, sugar snap peas, and kohlrabi, and usually devour them right there in the garden.

This way, you can create picturesque paths that wind beautifully past berry bushes, fruit trees, and raised beds, giving your garden a touch of a woodland walk.

Of course, the classic types of berries should not be missing in any snack garden; strawberries, currants, blueberries, bilberries, and lingonberries are almost a must-have. And those who are afraid of thorns can gladly opt for thornless raspberry and blackberry varieties.

But who knows the mulberries, figs, and medlars so common in the Mediterranean, which also bear tasty fruits and are popular shade providers?

And a grapevine is also happy to provide shade, traditionally planted near seating areas with the help of climbing aids. And whoever wants to can also try their luck with kiwis.

But our native fruit trees, such as apple, pear, cherry, apricot, plum, and mirabelle, can even be grown as espalier fruit in small gardens, decoratively framing your garden.

And in the past, almost every German garden had rhubarb, which was processed into delicious compote or cake.
