Wild Diversity in the Garden: When the Botanical Garden Becomes a Living Learning Space
The exhibition Wild Diversity in the Garden at the Botanical Garden of FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg offers an unusually insightful view of nature right outside our door. Between open fields and greenhouses, the garden reveals itself not as a manicured backdrop but as a complex ecosystem full of fungi, mosses, insects, birds, and other vertebrates.
An Artistic Experience in a Broader Sense
Walking through the area, visitors experience not a classic exhibition hall but an open exhibition atmosphere under the sky. Thematic panels, habitat portraits, and vivid examples make ecological connections visible. The examination here shifts to the interplay of leaves, deadwood, sandy areas, water, and the countless organisms that live within.
Between Biodiversity and Aesthetic Experience
The exhibition combines cultural education with scientific precision. It explains how biodiversity arises, why certain habitats are so significant, and how small retreats for animals and plants can be created even in one’s own garden or balcony. Knowledge becomes sensually tangible: through colors, shapes, structures, and the immediate spatial effect of the garden.
Ecology Becomes Visible
The exhibition goes far beyond decorative garden images. It shows fungi as key organisms, lichens as sensitive environmental indicators, mosses as quiet pioneers, and wild bees as indispensable flower visitors. Amphibians, reptiles, butterflies, and mammals also find their place in a network of relationships that makes the garden a new reading of nature's living stage.
The Botanical Garden as a Place of Education
The Botanical Garden of Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg is a scientifically driven place for public education. With open fields, greenhouses, and curated thematic offerings, it creates a space where research, environmental education, and aesthetic experience intertwine. This connection makes a visit particularly rewarding for families, nature lovers, and art enthusiasts.
Conclusion
Wild Diversity in the Garden invites attendees to discover the garden as an ecological total artwork. Those who look closely will recognize: biodiversity is not an abstract term but a living, touching reality. A visit to the Botanical Garden Erlangen promises insight, wonder, and a new awareness of life in hiding. This exhibition should be experienced live.
