On June 13, the Multikraft campus in Pichl near Wels once again transformed into a lively gathering place for nature lovers, families, and those who appreciate the finer things in life. What was billed as a day filled with nature, socializing, and experiences turned into a special festival—and set a new attendance record: Around 900 guests accepted the invitation to the Nature Festival at Multikraft.
That morning, things looked anything but promising. Heavy rain initially had everyone looking up at the sky with concern. But just in time for the festival to begin, the weather showed its best side: pleasant temperatures and bright sunshine accompanied visitors throughout the day. Looking back, the timing could hardly have been better.
There was plenty on offer for guests in terms of food. The Falstaff-award-winning KoCh Baukasten treated everyone to burgers, fries, and creative specialties. The fire pit was also particularly popular, where young and old alike could grill their own bread on a stick and sausages. The Goldhaubenfrauen Bad Schallerbach provided sweet moments with their pastries, as did the ice cream truck from Stadler Bio-Eis. The Pichl Sports Club also offered a wide variety of beverages.

In the morning, Brandis Big Band from the Marktkapelle Bad Schallerbach provided the perfect musical accompaniment with a lively swing brunch. In the afternoon, Helga Tanzbar took the stage and wowed the crowd with a mix of pop, rock, and well-known classics. Many guests took advantage of the relaxed atmosphere in the Multikraft Garden to enjoy the music while having a leisurely picnic.
Families, in particular, had a wonderful time. Whether making seed bombs, planting seedlings, or playing a nature-themed memory game, everyone got to craft, learn, and explore. A bouncy castle, face painting, and plenty of games put big smiles on the children’s faces. Another highlight was the Sulzbach Fire Department, which was on site with its fire truck and offered fascinating insights into their work.
Those interested in learning more about Multikraft were able to take a look behind the scenes during guided tours of the production facilities and laboratory. The keynote presentations generated a lot of interest and offered valuable insights into the world of natural solutions for plants, animals, and people. The brands bioemsan and Manju also presented themselves to visitors. The program was rounded out by an expert from “Natur im Garten,” who brought along numerous tips and giveaways for natural gardening.

Freshly picked blueberries straight from your own bush are among the greatest pleasures of gardening. These little blue berries not only taste incredible, but are also packed with valuable nutrients. Antioxidants, vitamins, and phytochemicals make blueberries a true superfood. What’s especially nice: With the right conditions and a natural plant booster, blueberries are very easy to grow in your own garden—and they reward your care year after year with a bountiful harvest.
Bokashi allows you to efficiently recycle garden waste directly in the garden bed or yard and turn it into nutrient-rich fertilizer. Unlike traditional composting, the fermentation process ensures that nutrients are largely preserved and become available to plants more quickly. The following article explains how to make bokashi in the garden and which methods are best suited for this purpose.
Permaveggis aren’t high-maintenance. These perennial vegetable plants are the marathon runners of the vegetable garden. Once planted, they stay put. They put down deep roots, withstand frost, survive dry spells, and deliver a harvest year after year—often long after annual crops are still listed in seed catalogs.
Perennial vegetables bring stability to the system: less digging, less replanting, less stress. Instead: strong roots, vibrant soil, and a garden that grows stronger with each passing year—nurtured with probiotic plant fortification, completely organic.
