You will find us situated
directly at the freeway A8 between Pasau/Germany and Linz/Austria, exit
Ort/Innkreis. The area we are located in is called "Innviertel", a
picturesque landsacpe between Inn and Danube, both of these mighty
rivers building the frontier between Austria and Bavaria. There is much
more to see and find here besides our gardens - old baroque towns with
a famous hospitality, roman excavations, hidden natural beauties.

In our nursery, we see it
as our main task besides raising of perennials to show gardening fans
the beauty and splender of growings coming from all over the world. It
is our aim to make the plants themselves the centre of our effort, f.i.
presenting them in various showbeds including new introductions, at the
same time testing their climatic aptness for middle European
situations. Here somethings can be seen at any time of the year.

While I was raised in the
southern part of Germany near Switzerland, I am now living with my
family here in Austria, after several stations in Switzerland, Austria
and the Netherlands. Like many other shrub cultivateurs I like to
travel, looking for the perennials, I garden, in their natural
surroundings for a better understanding and to take photographs of them.

What means "Sarastro"?
This question I get asked
quite often and here is the answer. Sarastro is the high priest in
Mozart's "Magic Flute".
Why did you name your company after
a figure from an opera?
A few years ago I
reproduced a dark violet seedling of a campanula, which resulted
in a sterile, richly flowering sort composed of C. punctata and
C. Trachelium, one growing wildly and the other seeding as wildly, the
well-behaving result was called Sarastro, the evil ghost at the
beginning showing its brave spirit in the end, exactly as my Campanula
did.
