    The sevengardens Living Lab

    At the Hof Emschermündung in Dinslaken, you will find the sevengardens Living Lab.

    This is where research, experimentation, and testing take place.

    At the same time, the sevengardens Living Lab is the central hub for our workshops, exhibitions, seminars, discussion rounds, and symposia.

    From here, you can not only learn about and experience creative work with plant-based dyes, but also explore the sevengardens dye garden and the Emschermündung.

    The Dye Garden

    The sevengardens dye garden is also part of the Living Lab, featuring a wide variety of dye plants – from pomegranate blossoms and madder roots to coreopsis.

    Between the beds, there is even more to discover: a rock garden, trellises made from driftwood, a cozy fire pit, selected natural finds, and handcrafted sculptures make the garden a truly inspiring place.
