    The property made available by the pharmacist Gertraude Mocker was lovingly laid out by the Freinsheim Foundation as a pharmacist's garden with aromatic and medicinal plants. The care of the individual beds is taken over by sponsors. They are bordered with dry stone walls made of Palatinate sandstone. At the end of the path are the god of healing Aesculap and his daughter Hygeia. (Source Pfalz.de)

      The property provided by the pharmacist Gertraude Mocker was lovingly landscaped by the Freinsheim Foundation into a pharmacist's garden with scented and medicinal plants. The care of the individual beds is taken over by sponsors. They are surrounded by dry stone walls made of Palatinate sandstone. At the end of the path are the god of healing Aesculap and his daughter Hygeia.

        "The Freinsheim apothecary's garden was made possible by the Freinsheim pharmacist Getraude Mocker, whose grandparents had already planted an apothecary's garden on today's land in the past. The garden was later leased. Shortly before her death, Ms. Mocker donated the property to the city of Freinsheim however, that a pharmacist's garden open to the public should be created here again." Gertraude Mocker lived from 1925 to 2009.

        The herbs/medicinal plants on the individual raised beds are arranged according to medical treatment fields (gastrointestinal diseases, headaches, eye strengthening, etc.) and labeled accordingly, including the names of the sponsors.

        In the back part of the garden there are two sculptures by the sculptor Mathias Nikolaus (DÜW) from Greek mythology: the staff of Asculapius (= symbol of medicine and healing arts) and the representation of a woman (= Hygieia/Hygeia, the Greek patron saint of pharmacists) .
