Wild Diversity in the Garden: An Exhibition about the Hidden Life between Leaves and Beds
In the Botanical Garden Erlangen, the exhibition Wild Diversity in the Garden opens up a view of a nature that often remains hidden. Between the open air and the greenhouse entrance unfolds an extraordinary artistic experience: not a classic art hall, but a vibrant learning space where ecological relationships, biodiversity, and aesthetic experience intertwine.
A Garden as a Stage for the Invisible
The exhibition shows how rich gardens are beyond the planted varieties. Fungi, mosses, microorganisms, insects, birds, and other vertebrates become visible as part of a finely interwoven ecosystem. The thematic panels guide visitors through biological contexts, habitats, and biodiversity, combining scientific precision with vivid interpretation.
15 Thematic Panels, Many Perspectives
The official presentation includes 15 large thematic panels. They range from an introduction to the preservation of diversity through the BioBlitz 2025 to topics such as fungi, lichens, mosses, wild bees, butterflies, amphibians and reptiles, aquatic habitats, greenhouse fauna, and neobiota. This curation follows a clear idea: to not only observe nature but to understand its relationships.
Knowledge that Impacts Everyday Life
The museum education approach is particularly strong. The exhibition offers insights on how to promote biodiversity in one's own garden or on the balcony. Thus, the tour becomes a practical impulse for cultural education and environmental awareness. The connection of research, mediation, and public space makes the visit an educational yet sensual experience.
A Place with Scientific Tradition
The Botanical Garden of Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg is one of the central places of botanical education in the region. With open spaces, greenhouses, guided tours, and educational offerings, it provides access to the world of plants that remains both expert and accessible. The exhibition integrates convincingly into this profile.
Conclusion
Wild Diversity in the Garden is not an exhibition for mere passing by, but an invitation to look closely. Those who appreciate nature, biodiversity, and scientifically founded mediation will experience an inspiring tour through the invisible life in the garden here. A visit is definitely worthwhile.
