Katrin Iskam - "Gärtnern ohne viel Geschiss"
„Gärtnern ohne viel Geschiss“
The live tour of bestselling author and gardening expert Katrin Iskam
She is notorious, she is unique, and she is definitely crazy. She doesn't just have ONE green thumb, but two of them.
„Gärtnern ohne viel Geschiss“ is not only her motto but also the title of her current garden comedy 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 excavates in rubber boots and a nightgown? Exactly, only the “Katrinchen,” as she is affectionately called by her fans. And there are now quite a lot of them. Over 220,000 on her Instagram page @katrinsgarten, which won 1st place in the German Garden Book Prize. The self-taught author is a four-time SPIEGEL bestselling author (2022 “With Wit, Charm, and Method - The Slightly Different Garden Book”; 2023 “Go Big or Go Home: Garden Design with @katrinsgarten”; 2024 saw the release of Book No. 3: “With Heart & Fork through Katrin's Gardening Year 2025,” 2025 followed with Book No. 4: “With Heart & Fork through Katrin's Gardening Year 2026”) and entertainer. Born and raised in the Altmark, she now lives in Himbergen in the Lüneburg Heath. Can a place of residence sound more like a garden? Hardly.
And exactly there it is: Her garden. Her retreat. The origin of all her creative katrinsgarten constructions. And the germ cell of countless incredible stories. There, single-handedly, under the motto: a woman can do it herself, she has already felled 25 fir trees with a handsaw. And when the natural fertilizer accidentally ends up at the Christmas tree, only “head gardener” Tyson, Katrin's dachshund, is the one who is truly happy. Together, the two make an unbeatable team when it comes to planning, caring for, and nurturing. Then there’s Waldemar, the husband, who tends to locate the fat hen more in the chicken coop. And when Katrin advises “to stab it,” it’s always 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 completely different way. And if someone should happen to wander to Himbergen and stand in front of her door, the “Katrinchen” has a practical and preventive piece of advice ready for this scenario: Breaking in is pointless for me, the money is in the garden.
All of this and much more can be found in “Gärtnern ohne viel Geschiss,” the live program by and with Katrin Iskam.
