Plants are grown in the city nursery's production facility: from cut flowers and vegetable seedlings to potted plants. The park with its sand garden and large trees invites you to relax and take a stroll. An exotic world of plants can be discovered in the palm, tropical and subtropical house. Grün Stadt Zürich also runs an education centre, a platform for exhibitions, courses and events on green topics, in the unique ambience of the city nursery.
