The private botanical garden “Alpinum Schatzalp” is a part of the Art Nouveau mountain hotel Schatzalp in the heart of the Swiss mountains. Occupying about 5 ha at the height of 1864m above sea level, there are over 5000 different species and types of plants from all over the world that are cultivated here. Like all botanical gardens our goals are:
1. Conservation and collection of plant species from all over the world
2. Education of visitors
3. Local recreation
The botanical garden Alpinum Schatzalp is a part of the Berghotel Schatzalp.
During your stay you will get an insight into horticulture, especially into the field of alpine gardening. Volunteers will mostly be working with different invasive species, such as Neophytes (weeding) and work on nature conservation. Apart from that, you build pathways, prepare compost, preparing soil for future plants, propagate plants, maintain the garden grounds and prepare flower-beds. Please be aware that the work is physically demanding, you will sometimes need to carry heavy things (& working at the height of 1864m above sea level is more tiring)!
