| Germany's
oldest Dahlia Garden, has been open since 1920 and can be found on the
outskirts of the People's Park (Volkspark) near Altona. The park is open
from the end of June until the first frost, or the end of October, from
7am to sunset. The park has over 14.227 Dahlias with 432 types recorded
in 2003 and has been entered into the Guinness Book of Records. Entry
is free, but we suggest you fill the yellow watering cans with a small
contribution towards costs. Usually you can order Dahlias at the kiosk,
which can be picked up the following March (4th Oct 2003 - Sold Out) -
a special order form is sometimes available, as is coffee, tea and ice
cream. Toilets are at the back of the park and there are paths leading
to the main Volkspark park - Address
