What happens when designers, artists and gardeners come together to think about queer spaces in green environments? During the one-week »designfrische Residency 2025«, a wide range of design and gardening approaches emerged in the garden of the »Absteige zur bärtigen Therese« – open, experimental, and inquisitive.

A garden that invites reflection

The tour offers visitors insights into approaches that aim less to provide answers than to stimulate thought:

• How can queer spaces be rooted in rural areas?
• What role can a garden play for the LGBTIQ+ community?
• How can Queer Ecologies or Ecosexuality be experienced in a garden context?
• And what might a place look like that enables respectful relationships across species boundaries?

The resulting works encourage a view of nature as a social and political fabric – and the garden as a space for new forms of coexistence.
