The abbey has restored several gardens: the garden of simples, a medieval medicinal garden with the plants used by Hildegard of Bingen; the pharmacy garden, with medicinal plants of today; the monks' garden, of herbs and vegetables, in the former "hen yard"; the abbot's garden, of roses and hydrangeas among balustrades, with the only two authentic eighteenth-century ponds; a timeline of old roses and an orchard of old varieties on the farm hill.
