Wild Diversity in the Garden: An Artistic Experience Among Leaves, Soil, and Biodiversity
The exhibition Wild Diversity in the Garden takes you deep into a vibrant world that is often overlooked in everyday life. In the Botanical Garden of Erlangen, it becomes evident how rich gardens are beyond the planted flora: fungi, mosses, tiny creatures, insects, and vertebrates create an ecological web that unfolds as both an aesthetic experience and an educational exploration of artworks. The presentation is part of the action week organized by the Association of Botanical Gardens and will be shown during regular opening hours; admission is free.

When the Garden Becomes a Stage for Hidden Relationships
The exhibition draws attention to the inconspicuous residents of the garden and makes ecological relationships visible that would otherwise remain hidden. This is precisely where its strength lies: it combines museum education, nature observation, and cultural education into a calm, focused artistic experience outdoors. The Botanical Garden of Erlangen itself provides the suitable setting with around 20,000 square meters of space, a location next to the palace garden, and a long tradition as a learning and demonstration site of FAU.

A Place of Seeing, Learning, and Discovering
Those who walk through the grounds will encounter not only plants but also a finely curated perspective on biodiversity. Used for the university since 1747 and firmly established at its current location since 1828, the garden combines scientific precision with public accessibility. Tropical and subtropical plants in the greenhouses, open spaces, pathways, and sightlines create an exhibition atmosphere where natural history and the present intertwine.

Conclusion
Wild Diversity in the Garden is more than a display of species diversity: It opens up a new perspective on the garden as a living cultural space, as a place of learning, and as a sensory landscape. Those who appreciate nature, knowledge, and quiet discoveries should definitely experience this exhibition in Erlangen live.
