Beautiful Blooming Splendor at the Start of the Season in the Hirschstetten Flower Gardens in Vienna

For spring 2025, around 39,000 flower bulbs were already laid out in the flower beds of the Hirschstetten Flower Gardens in autumn and have now been supplemented with around 33,000 pansies in various colors.

Season Start with Over 72,000 Blooming Harbingers of Spring

Particularly impressive is the large flower bed around the pavilion. An area of almost 400 square meters has been designed with a diverse selection of spring flowers. Here, tulips of the varieties "Banja Luka" in yellow-red, "Apeldoorn" in strong red, and "American Dream" in a yellow-red coloration dominate. The floral splendor is complemented by the imposing crown imperial varieties "Red Beauty" in bright red and "Max Lutea" in radiant yellow. Pansies of the varieties "Red and Yellow" and "Red" complete the beauty of the bed.

A colorful variety also unfolds on the numerous other flower beds in the Hirschstetten Flower Gardens. Pansies of the varieties "Fire Mix" with yellowish to reddish tones and "Rosy Mix", ranging from white to light violet to reddish nuances, create an enchanting sea of blossoms. In addition, multifaceted tulips set colorful accents, such as the pink "Double Prince", the violet shining "Purple Flag", "Light and Dreamy", "Gabriella" and "Don Quichotte" as well as the dark "Recreado" and "Bloody Mary". With its delicate yellowish tones, "Marie Jo" harmoniously blends into the overall picture, while "Mondial" with white blossoms provides bright highlights.

Theme Gardens in Hirschstetten Flower Gardens Combine Diversity and Tradition

From the idyllic farm ensemble with herb beds and press house to the fascinating prehistoric garden - there is something for every visitor to explore here. Whether you want to explore the exoticism of the Indian Garden or linger a bit in the Garden of Provence, the Hirschstetten Flower Gardens warmly invite you to immerse yourself in a world full of diversity and inspiration.

A special highlight is the TCM Garden, a harmoniously designed theme garden that takes visitors into the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Characterized by bamboo, lotus, stones, and water, it combines typical design elements of Chinese gardens with an educational concept. Created with the professional support of an ethnobotanist, it serves as a place of knowledge, relaxation, and meditation. A yin-yang-shaped bed symbolizes balance, while medicinal plants are grouped according to their effects. A small meditative water area with lotus flowers and a delicate bamboo fence complete the facility.

Zoological Garden in the Middle of Vienna-Donaustadt

In the Hirschstetten Flower Gardens, there is also a zoological garden with over 50 different animal species. The focus is mainly on endangered native animal species such as the wildcat, the Ural owl, or the European pond turtle. But native birds like the blackbird, greenfinch, or goldfinch can also be observed in the 1,200 square meter aviary. On the farm, you can also discover Ouessant sheep, the smallest sheep breed in the world, spotted goats, or peacock goats. Exotic animals, such as spinifex hopping mice from Australia, Japanese climbing snakes, or red-whiskered bulbuls from China, also find their home in the palm house.

Playgrounds for Young Visitors

Another highlight is the diverse playgrounds of the Hirschstetten Flower Gardens, including the insect playground and the flower playground. Here, there are exciting opportunities for discovery and play for all ages. Whether it's a nest swing, spider climbing net, plant memory game, or tulip course - there is something for every preference.
