Wild Diversity in the Garden: When the Botanical Garden Becomes a Laboratory for Biodiversity
The exhibition Wild Diversity in the Garden opens the perspective on the life that often remains hidden in the garden. At the Botanical Garden Erlangen, the art experience becomes nature observation: fungi, mosses, insects, birds, and other vertebrates appear here not as footnotes but as part of a finely intertwined ecological system.
A Garden Full of Silent Protagonists
The showcase of the Botanical Gardens directs attention to those forms of biodiversity that act beyond beds and ornamental plants. Thematic panels and illustrative examples make visible how dead wood, leaf litter, open sand areas, water points, and structurally rich plantings create habitats. This outdoor exhibition conveys an aesthetic experience where nature observation and cultural education intertwine.
Between Science, Curation, and Perception
The presentation is based on findings from the BioBlitz action 2025 and brings ecological relationships to the forefront. Visitors encounter the garden as a living classroom where biological diversity is not abstract but experienceable as an immediate spatial impact. Especially in the Botanical Garden, the particular strength of an exhibition unfolds that does not instruct knowledge but communicates it sensually.
The Botanical Garden as a Place of Education
The Botanical Garden of FAU is much more than a green facility: it connects collection, research, education, and recreation. The exhibition fits into this tradition and invites reflection on both native and urban biodiversity. Those interested in plants, ecology, and museum pedagogy will find a place here where natural history and present communicate with each other.
Conclusion
Wild Diversity in the Garden is an impressive plea for more attention to the invisible. The exhibition shows how rich a garden can be when you look closely. A visit is worthwhile for all who want to not only observe nature but truly understand and experience it.
