Katrin Iskam - Gärtnern ohne viel Geschiss
She is infamous, she is unique, and she is definitely crazy. She doesn't have ONE green thumb, but two of them. "Gärtnern ohne viel Geschiss" is not only her motto but also the title of her current live tour.
We are 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 buries in rubber boots 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 alone on her Instagram page @katrinsgarten, which won 1st place in the German Garden Book Prize. The self-taught gardener is a successful gardening influencer and SPIEGEL bestseller author (2022 "With Wit, Charm, and Method – The Slightly Different Gardening Book"; 2023 "Going Big Instead of Small: Garden Design with @katrinsgarten"; Book No. 3, "With Heart & Fork Through Katrin's Garden 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 gardening? Hardly.
And that’s exactly where it is: Her garden. Her retreat. The origin of all her creative katrinsgarten constructions. And the seedbed of countless incredible stories. The nightly snail rescue sometimes almost ends at the police station. And when the natural fertilizer inadvertently ends up on the Christmas tree, “head gardener” Tyson, Katrin’s dachshund, is the happiest. Together, the two make an unbeatable team when it comes to planning, caring for, and nurturing. Then there’s Waldemar, the god-husband, who rather locates the fat hen in the chicken coop. And when Katrin advises to “take care,” she always means it with the best intentions. In “Gärtnern ohne viel Geschiss,” Katrin Iskam serves up plenty of practical tips and just as many funny anecdotes. “Happy Garden” in a whole new way. And if someone should happen to get lost in Himbergen and stand in front of her door, “Katrinchen” has a practical and preventive piece of advice ready: Breaking in is pointless here; the money is in the garden.
All this and much more awaits in “Gärtnern ohne viel Geschiss,” the live program by and with Katrin Iskam.
