Wild Diversity in the Garden: Discovering the Secret Residents of the Botanical Garden
At the Botanical Garden Erlangen, the exhibition Wild Diversity in the Garden opens the view to a unique art experience: not a classic art hall, but a vibrant exhibition atmosphere in the open air, where ecological relationships become visible. The show demonstrates how rich gardens are beyond the planted diversity – featuring fungi, mosses, micro-organisms, insects, and vertebrates as silent protagonists.
A Garden as a Living Teaching Model
The exhibition is designed as a scientifically grounded outdoor presentation, combining education, research, and aesthetic experience. On 15 large thematic panels, a panorama of biodiversity unfolds: from fungi as key organisms to lichens and mosses to wild bees, butterflies, amphibians, and reptiles. Each panel sharpens the perception for those life forms that are easily overlooked in everyday life but are indispensable in the ecological fabric.
Thematic Panels, Observation, and Insight
The curated structure of the show is particularly impressive. It organizes the content not dryly, but as a series of observations, questions, and aha moments. The stations on puddles, ponds, and streams, on exotic plants in the garden, or on plants as habitats invite a close examination of the works in a metaphorical sense: The garden becomes a backdrop of symbioses, adversaries, and networks. This creates an exhibition that does not teach, but makes insights sensually experienceable.
Education, Sustainability, and Nature Experience
The Botanical Garden of FAU sees itself as an extracurricular learning place where cultural education and environmental education intersect. The presentation conveys knowledge about ecological relationships, sustainable actions, and the protection of biodiversity. Supplementary notes show how biodiversity can also be promoted in one's own garden or on the balcony. This is precisely where the strength of this exhibition lies: it combines scientific authority with everyday inspiration.
Place with a Special History
The Botanical Garden Erlangen is itself part of the exhibition experience. Its plant collections, greenhouses, and historical environment create a space where research and recreation converge. Visitors experience the exhibition not in isolation, but embedded in a garden that makes knowledge visible and allows nature to be experienced from multiple perspectives.
Conclusion
Wild Diversity in the Garden is an equally educational and poetic invitation to change the view of nature. Those who want to understand the living relationships between plants, animals, and microorganisms should experience this exhibition live. It rewards attention with insights and makes the Botanical Garden Erlangen a place of intense aesthetic experience.
