The live tour by bestselling author and garden blogger Katrin Iskam
The live tour by bestselling author and garden blogger Katrin Iskam
She's notorious, she's unique and she's definitely crazy. She doesn't have THE green thumb, but two of them. "Gardening without the fuss" is not only her motto, but also the title of her current live tour.
We're talking about Katrin Iskam, a trained and active nurse, but above all the hottest discovery on the local gardening scene. After all, who digs, shovels and digs in wellies and a nightgown? Exactly, only "Katrinchen", as she is affectionately called by her fans. And there are now quite a few of them. Almost 200,000 on her Instagram page @katrinsgarten alone, which won first place in the German Gardening Book Prize. The self-taught gardener is a successful garden influencer and three-time SPIEGEL bestselling author (2022 "Mit Witz, Charme und Methode - Das etwas andere Gartenbuch"; 2023 "Klotzen statt kleckern: Gartengestaltung mit @katrinsgarten"; 2024 followed by book no. 3: "Mit Herz & Gabel durch Katrins Gartenjahr 2025"). Born and raised in the Altmark, she now lives in Himbergen in the Lüneburg Heath. Can a place of residence sound more like a garden? Hardly.
And that's exactly where it is: her garden. Her retreat. The origin of all her creative katrinsgarten constructions. And the nucleus of countless incredible stories. A night-time snail rescue can end up at the police station. And when the natural fertilizer unintentionally ends up on the Christmas tree, the "head gardener" Tyson, Katrin's dachshund, is delighted. Together, the two of them form an unbeatable team when it comes to planning, tending and tending. Then there's Waldemar, the husband of the gods, who tends to keep the fat hen in the henhouse. And when Katrin advises "cutting", it's always with the best of intentions. In "Gärtnern ohne viel Geschiss", Katrin Iskam serves up plenty of practical tips and at least as many amusing anecdotes. "Happy Garden" with a difference. And if someone should get lost in Himbergen and turn up on her doorstep, "Katrinchen" has some real-life, preventative advice at the ready: "Burglary is pointless with me, the money is in the garden.
All this and much more can be found in "Gärtnern ohne viel Geschiss", the live program by and with Katrin Iskam. All dates at: www.mina-entertainment.de/katrin-iskam-termine
