KATRIN ISKAM - Gardening Without the Fuss

"Gärtnern ohne viel Geschiss" - Gardening Without the Fuss

The live tour of bestselling author and gardening expert Katrin Iskam.

She is notorious, one of a kind, and definitely a little crazy. She doesn't have THE green thumb - she has two of them. "Gardening Without the Fuss" is not just her motto but also the title of her current garden comedy live tour.

Meet Katrin Iskam - a trained and practicing nurse, but above all the hottest discovery in the German gardening scene. Who else digs, shovels, and rummages around in rubber boots and a nightgown? Exactly - only "Katrinchen", as her fans affectionately call her. And there are quite a few of them: over 220,000 followers on her Instagram page @katrinsgarten, which won 1st place at the German Garden Book Prize. A self-taught enthusiast, four-time SPIEGEL bestselling author, and entertainer. Born and raised in the Altmark region, she now lives in Himbergen in the Luneburg Heath. Could a home address sound more garden-like? Hardly.

And that is exactly where her garden is - her retreat, the origin of all her creative ideas, and the seed of countless incredible stories. There she single-handedly fells 25 fir trees with a hand saw, true to the motto: do it yourself. And when natural fertilizer accidentally lands on the Christmas tree, the one who enjoys it most is "head gardener" Tyson, Katrin's dachshund. Together they make an unbeatable team when it comes to planning and tending the garden. Then there's Waldemar, the god-husband, who thinks "fat hen" belongs in the chicken coop. And when Katrin recommends "deadheading", she always means it with the best intentions.

In "Gardening Without the Fuss", Katrin Iskam serves up plenty of practical tips alongside just as many funny anecdotes. "Happy Garden" like you've never seen it before.
