See plants. Experience spaces. Thinking gardens.

A place for garden culture and design
The Gartenatelier Domat/Ems is a show garden, experimental space, platform and source of inspiration all in one. It combines the joy of garden art with the seriousness of plant research - and offers space for exchange, education and sensory experience.
Behind the project are landscape architects Maja Tobler and Olivier Zuber - together with a team that acts as a fine mesh of experience, passion and expertise. Together, they have been committed to garden culture in Graubünden and far beyond for many years.


Thematic garden rooms - walk-in plant stories
The garden is divided into different "rooms", separated by hedge structures - each with its own theme and characteristic planting.

Some highlights:
- Icon garden - inspired by well-known plant users, by students
- Hazel garden - shade plants in a quiet composition
- Prairie garden - drought-resistant concepts, by students
- Climate garden - experimental field for adaptability, by students
- Vegetable garden - old varieties and edible diversity
- Carre garden - a wealth of varieties in series
- Autumn garden - abundance of flowers in the late season
- Exotic garden - unusual but hardy plants
Every room tells a story - of plants, people and design.


A space for learning and experimenting
The garden studio is more than just an exhibition - it is a laboratory for the contemporary use of plants.
The "Designing with Plants" master class uses the garden as a work and study space. New plant designs are developed, tested and documented here.

Visitors experience:
- Using plants under real conditions
- Development of plantings over the seasons
- Site-appropriate design as a design discipline
- Practical research with artistic aspirations


Events & hire - celebrations in the garden
The historic Art Nouveau glass house and the garden rooms can be rented - for:
- Weddings & private parties
- Business events & retreats
- Workshops & garden culture events
The garden studio is also a special meeting place - quiet, inspiring, atmospheric.


A platform for garden culture in Graubünden
The Gartenatelier Domat/Ems is an open stage for the diversity of plants in design. It sees itself as a platform for knowledge transfer, cultural cultivation and design practice.
Whether professional, student, garden lover or seeker - the garden studio invites you to see plants in a new way and to think about gardens in a new way.

In autumn 2025, the final year of the Graubünden Whitsun project, a trip to Kampala and Lira is planned. The aim of the stay is to get to know the projects of the Zizers-based foundation Gott hilft in Uganda in more detail.

The Graubünden Pentecost Project supports the aid project God helps Uganda of the God Helps Foundation in Zizers. This meets the need by:

• Accommodation in accompanied foster families or in a residential home;
• Ensuring food and medical care;
• Ensuring a safe place to cope with trauma;
• Enabling school and vocational training as well as entry into the labour market.

Uganda is considered the pearl of Africa. It is rich in raw materials and a natural paradise. On the other hand, Uganda has one of the highest HIV rates in Africa. A civil war has left deep wounds in the Ugandan civilian population. Children suffer the most from this. Of Uganda's 39 million inhabitants, 50 per cent are under 15 years old. Many of them are orphans. Without help, these children are left to their own devices. That is why the growing generation in particular needs sustainable help to help themselves.
