Spring festival at the Museum of Natural History
Wide range on offer with seed and plant exchange on 1 April, 1 to 5 p.m.
On Saturday, 1 April, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., anyone interested is invited to the spring festival with a seed and plant exchange at the Museum für Naturkunde Chemnitz in the TIETZ.
Guests young and old can let off steam creatively with spring and Easter crafts: Sorbian Easter eggs, Easter nests and seed cards are on the programme. Young detectives will get their money's worth on the "Egg or no egg?" treasure hunt through the permanent exhibition. The brave can get up close and personal with prehistoric crabs and insects. The ASR of the City of Chemnitz also invites visitors to experiment. At its "Compost" station, waste utilisation takes centre stage. Agrargenossenschaft Lößnitz-Stollberg e.G. offers interesting facts about bees as well as honey. The municipal library with its mobile book lending centre inspires visitors to create their own gardening projects.
Home gardeners, small gardeners and flower pot gardeners are invited to bring seeds and plants to exchange and thus preserve the natural green diversity. Anyone wishing to offer larger quantities can register for a swap table by calling 0371 488-4555 or sending an e-mail to: ehle(at)naturkunde-chemnitz.de.
Dr Fritz Haubold from TU Dresden will discuss the importance of soils for life on earth in his lecture "Our soils - and how we deal with them" from 3 pm. After all, they not only provide a home for a multitude of living creatures, but are also carriers of information on natural and cultural history.
