Wild Diversity in the Garden at the Botanical Garden Erlangen: Experience biodiversity with all senses
The exhibition Wild Diversity in the Garden opens the view to those living beings that truly make gardens come alive. At the Botanical Garden Erlangen, visitors encounter an exhibition that makes ecological connections visible and allows the garden to be understood as a multifaceted habitat.
When the garden becomes a habitat
Fungi, mosses, tiny creatures, insects, and vertebrates form a finely woven network that is often overlooked in well-maintained areas. This is precisely where the exhibition starts: it shows how closely biological diversity, urban nature, and knowledge transfer are connected. The panels draw attention to groups of organisms, habitats, and relationships that usually remain hidden in everyday life.
Knowledge that unfolds in the field
The exhibition includes 15 large thematic panels, including introduction, BioBlitz, fungi, lichens, mosses, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles, wild bees and wasps, butterflies, aquatic habitats, greenhouse fauna, plants as habitats, pollinators, and ecological networking. This structure creates a clear museum pedagogical dramaturgy and transforms the tour into an intense artistic experience of nature observation.
Aesthetic experience and environmental education
The atmosphere of the exhibition combines open-air spaces, greenhouses, and botanical research into a lively examination of nature itself. Colors, shapes, surfaces, and movements are not seen as decoration but as expressions of a complex ecosystem. At the same time, the exhibition provides concrete tips for one's own garden or balcony and translates biological insights into practical impulses.
Botanical Garden Erlangen as a place of cultural education
The Botanical Garden of FAU sees itself as an extracurricular learning place where research, teaching, education, and recreation come together. Its plant collections convey scientific content vividly and contribute to the preservation of biodiversity. Those who visit this exhibition experience not only an informative presentation but also a place that convincingly combines understanding of nature, sustainable action, and cultural education.
Conclusion: Wild Diversity in the Garden offers a precise, inspiring view of the hidden aspects of urban nature. The exhibition invites you to see the garden anew, look more closely, and sharpen your perception of biodiversity. A visit on-site is definitely worthwhile.
