      Unter dem Arbeitstitel «Futura Alpengarten» entwickelte der Verein Alpengarten Schynige Platte ein auf Nachhaltigkeit ausgerichtetes Projekt zur Förderung und Erhaltung dieses einmaligen botanischen Alpengartens. Zum 100-Jahr-Jubiläum 2027 wird es ein Meilenstein in die Zukunft. Diese Neuerungen sind geplant: Umbau Gebäude und Ausstellungsraum, Shop-Erweiterung, Einbau Solaranlage, Anpassung Aussenraum, beschattete Genussplätze, Besucherlenkung. Ein neues Vermittlungssystem soll dazu analog und digital noch interessantere Informationen vermitteln. Möchten Sie sich persönlich mit einer Spende an diesem ausgereiften Projekt beteiligen?
