The gardens and parks are true treasures of the Münsterland. With their uniqueness and beauty, they ennoble every castle and provide a voyage of discovery for the senses. Whether imposing, baroque castle gardens, small romantic sensory gardens or natural
Under the theme ‘GartenArten’, the LWL Museum of Natural History invites visitors to experience the diversity of native plant and animal species in the museum garden on four Wednesdays between 2 pm and 5 pm – weather permitting. There is plenty to discover amongst the pond, deadwood, compost and meadows. Under the microscope, you can explore the life within a drop of water or observe the tiniest soil organisms. The focus is on glimpsing life in hidden places. We’ll also be demonstrating how the ‘ObsIdentify’ app works to help you easily identify plants and animals. Using the app, your observations can contribute to scientific research and help you gain a fresh appreciation of the diversity of native species.
Just pop along and join in. No booking is required.
Eintritt: Das Sommerferienangebot ist im regulären Museums- und Planetariumseintritt enthalten. Kinder haben im Museum freien Eintritt. Das Planetarium ist für Kinder- und Erwachsene gleichermaßen kostenpflichtig,
We love the Mediterranean attitude to life, as it triggers a holiday feeling, sensuality and passion in us and lets us spontaneously forget everyday life. We invite you to Canzone & Hits from Spain, Italy
and South America: ...from the "Gibsy Kings", "Bocelli", "Buena Vista Social Club" to modern Latin hits or specials in a "Mediterranean" arrangement. In any case, you will experience a passionate, musical evening with the three musicians: Christoph Alexander with his multi-faceted, lyrical bel canto voice. Accompanied live by the virtuoso keyboard artist Dirk-Jan Ranzijn on his modern "orchestral" BÖHM SEMPRA organ and the Spanish flamenco guitarist and singer Manuel Montilla, who both captivate the audience with their joy of playing and their interpretations. Presentations on the songs, the performers or on the programme theme "Mediterranean" as well as the spontaneous pinch of humour of the performing artists make these evenings so unique!
In summery weather, with cool drinks and a great atmosphere, Quartiersarbeit Rhede, in collaboration with the writers’ group “Der Rhede wert”, is hosting an open-air reading in the monastery garden. Humorous and light-hearted texts create a relaxed atmosphere and encourage conversation. The reading will also be accompanied by music from Theo and Lisa Albers.
Anyone interested is warmly invited to spend an entertaining evening at Klostergarten 2 in Rhede on Friday, 24 July 2026 at 6.30 pm.

The private garden known from the WDR gardening programme "Garten & Lecker 2022" opens its doors with its giant palm trees and their flowers. Hardy palms, bananas, tree ferns, cacti and bamboos as well as lots of perennials and creative ideas await visitors. The many different, exotic plants, retreats in quiet seating areas and arbours or many unusual upcycled objects put visitors in a Mediterranean holiday mood. Various water features and fountains provide distraction. An outdoor kitchen awakens the desire for rustic cooking and barbecuing in the open air with modern technology.
Since the conversion of the residential building in 1998, the kitchen garden, originally laid out in 1952 as a resettler's plot with a residential house, has been completely transformed into an oasis of well-being and relaxation, planned and realised entirely by the owner. There are always new, small or large garden projects to discover.
The owners are always happy to share their expertise. The private garden was originally discovered in 2010 by "ARD-Ratgeber - Heim und Garten", which reported on the garden in Raesfeld.
Several Indian runner ducks are kept for preventive and environmentally friendly pest control of slugs, which only made plant growth and the reduction of the slug plague possible a few years ago. Greek tortoises find a species-appropriate home in a 120 m2 outdoor enclosure.
In addition to the normal annual opening dates, you can of course also visit the garden outside the Open Garden Days by prior arrangement by telephone. The Seggewiß family offers you the opportunity to visit the garden as part of a guided tour; a visit to the green living room is possible both as a small group (from 15 people) or in a large group by prior arrangement. Visitor groups are requested to make an appointment in advance by telephone.

Design cards with flowers. We use flower printing with the hammer technique or design the cards with dried flowers. We look forward to seeing you. Come along and enjoy the flower field.
We'll make bird feeders with you in the flower field. We will make bird food tags with you from sunflower seeds and our own grain. These make wonderful gifts or you can hang them directly in your garden/balcony and watch the birds pecking. Afterwards, you'll know how to make more tags at home.
