The area is over three centuries old and graces Potsdam with its historical buildings and grounds, including Sans Souci. You will be working in the gardens at Sans Souci and get a sneak peek at what the work here entails. In the Charlottenhof Park, created by P.J. Lenne in 1883, you will help fix and maintain pathways, plant beds, and the lawn. Your help ensures the preservation of these beautiful gardens. By rotating the parts of the park you work in, you will learn how diverse and large this park really is!
