Summer scents, music, and garden magic: The Aromagartenfest in Erlangen

A festival for all senses

When warm summer air meets herbs, blossoms, and medicinal plants, a festival atmosphere arises in the Aromagarten that is not loud but has a deep impact. Visitors experience botanical diversity up close and discover why the garden has been closely associated with knowledge, nature, and enjoyment for decades. The Botanical Garden of FAU refers to the long development of the Aromagarten and the annual Aromagartenfest as a fixed date in June.

Guided tours, hands-on activities, and small discoveries

The focus is on short guided tours through the garden, where scent and medicinal plants, ingredients, and habitats are central. The program is complemented by hands-on activities such as fragrance workshops, scented pillows, bath salts, and lavender ointment, along with traditional crafts, exhibitors, and a food truck for a relaxed evening in the greenery. This results in a lovingly curated garden festival with professional depth and a close connection to the plant world.

Music, enjoyment, and summer tranquility

From 5:00 PM, the trio Die Botaniker will musically accompany the evening, enhancing the calm, summery atmosphere among the beds, pathways, and fragrant plants. This unique blend of open-air acoustic experience, enjoyment, and community feeling makes the Aromagartenfest so special: not a classic big festival, but a decelerated experience with character.
