The course of a year at the Pflegerhof

In december we begin with the works in our greenhouses.
 
In spring we plant plant our fields and in May we start cutting the first herbs.
 
 
The picking of the flowers is the most work-intensive job, as it is done exclusively by hand.

All the herbs from which we use the leaves onlyare cut in the early morning hours. In this way the reduction of quality is avoided. The herbs are dryed in a very careful way.
 
It is essential that the drying takes place quickly (it takes approx. 24 to 40 hours depending on the herb) and that the temperature while drying is not higher than 30°C. Only in this way, precious activive ingredients remain in the herbs.

At the end, the herbs are filled in big paper bags and stored in a cool, dry and dark deposit.
 
Depending on the request, the different tea blends are mixed and packaged.
 
Getting perfect quality products does take not only a lot of time and passion, but also a high ammount of gentle care.

Cornelia's Cactus Collection

 
Cornelia's passion are cactuses. Year after year she increases her collection which includes today more than 100 differnt types. If you are looking for a special kind of cactus, you will most probably find it at the Pflegerhof.
 
In spring the cactuses are brought outside and in winter the are brought back into the greenhouse.
 
In the cold months (temp until +5°C) do not need water. Is the temperature higher, they need to be watered from time to time.
