Wild Diversity in the Garden at the Botanical Garden Erlangen: Rediscover Nature

Wild Diversity in the Garden: An exhibition that sharpens the view of the living

At the Botanical Garden Erlangen, the exhibition Wild Diversity in the Garden opens on July 4, 2026, providing a scientific as well as poetic approach to nature. The exhibition shows how rich gardens are beyond the planted diversity: fungi, mosses, microorganisms, insects, and vertebrates form a network of relationships that often remains hidden in everyday life.

An artistic experience between research and perception

This exhibition acts like a quiet invitation to contemplate the work of nature itself. Those walking through the garden experience shapes, structures, and habitats with new attention. The artistic experience here arises not from canvas or sculpture, but from the aesthetic experience of growth, decay, movement, and transformation.

Biodiversity as a living narrative

The Botanical Garden of FAU sees itself as a place of education and cultural mediation. The exhibition builds on the successful BioBlitz action 2025 and makes it visible that gardens are hotspots of biodiversity. Particularly exciting is the view of the ecological interactions that make biodiversity possible. Thus, the exhibition also provides a precise approach to nature conservation, garden culture, and urban ecology.

Practical, vivid, inspiring

Visitors also receive concrete suggestions on how to promote biodiversity in their own garden or on their balcony. This connects scientific knowledge with practical cultural education. Anyone interested in plants, ecological relationships, and contemporary museum education will find an exhibition with high educational value here.

The Botanical Garden as a place of encounter

The Botanical Garden Erlangen is part of the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg and has been a place for research, teaching, and relaxation for decades. The facility shows plants from different climate and vegetation zones, thus providing a wide view of botanical collections, open spaces, and greenhouses. This connection of science and sensory experience also shapes the character of the exhibition.

Conclusion

Wild Diversity in the Garden is not a pure information exhibition, but a quiet, insightful artistic experience outdoors. Those who want not just to see nature but truly understand it should visit this exhibition at the Botanical Garden Erlangen live and discover the hidden communities of life with their own eyes.
