Katrin Iskam - Gärtnern ohne viel Geschiss
She is infamous, she is unique, and she is definitely crazy. She doesn't just have a green thumb, she has two of them. "Gardening without much 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 in the local gardening scene. Because who digs, shovels, and grubs around in rubber boots and a nightgown? That's right, only "Katrinchen," as she is lovingly called by her fans. And there are quite a lot of fans now. Almost 200,000 alone on her Instagram page @katrinsgarten, which won the 1st place in the German Garden Book Award. The self-taught gardener is a successful garden influencer and SPIEGEL best-selling author (2022 "With Wit, Charm, and Method - The Slightly Different Garden Book"; 2023 "Go Big or Go Home: Garden Design with @katrinsgarten"; Book no. 3 "With Heart & Fork Through Katrin's Gardening Year 2025" will follow in late summer). Born and raised in 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. There, a nightly snail rescue mission nearly ends up at the police station. And if the natural fertilizer unintentionally lands on the Christmas tree, "Head Gardener" Tyson, Katrin's dachshund, is overjoyed at most. Together, the two form an unbeatable team when it comes to planning, caring, and nurturing. Then there's Waldemar, the godly husband, who prefers to locate the Sedum plant in the chicken coop. And when Katrin recommends "stabbing," it's always with the best intentions. In "Gardening without much fuss," Katrin Iskam serves up plenty of practical tips and just as many funny anecdotes. "Happy Garden" in a completely different way. And in case someone should ever get lost and end up at her doorstep in Himbergen, "Katrinchen" also has a down-to-earth and preventive piece of advice ready for that situation: Break-ins are pointless here, the money is in the garden.
All of this and much more is part of "Gardening without much fuss," the live program by and with Katrin Iskam.
