Wild Diversity in the Garden: An exhibition about the hidden life of green spaces
At the Botanical Garden Erlangen, the exhibition Wild Diversity in the Garden opens the eyes to the living beings that truly bring gardens to life. Fungi, mosses, microorganisms, insects, and vertebrates step out of the shadows of perception and show how rich the ecological relationship between plants, soil, water, and wildlife is.
An artistic experience of nature observation
This exhibition is not a classic art show, but a curated knowledge and nature experience with a high aesthetic impact. The 15 topic panels lead through ecological connections, biodiversity, and habitats. The focus is on a precise examination of nature itself: symbiotic processes, fragile balances, and surprising forms of coexistence in the garden.
From fungi to wild bees: diversity as a principle of life
The content focus on organism groups that are often overlooked is particularly impressive. Fungi, lichens, and mosses do not appear as marginal topics, but as key players in a complex ecosystem. Contributions on birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, wild bees, wasps, and butterflies are also included. This creates a multi-layered picture of biodiversity that connects botanical education and natural history in a vivid way.
Citizen Science as cultural education
The exhibition connects to the BioBlitz 2025, where 4717 species were documented in more than 30 botanical gardens. This number represents not only scientific collection but also a new culture of seeing. Those who read the panels experience how research, environmental education, and public exhibition practice interweave and how scientific knowledge translates into an inspiring exhibition atmosphere.
Tips for your own garden
The exhibition does not stop at observation. It offers profiles of habitats and concrete tips for everyday life: nature-friendly garden, water features, structurally rich areas, and measures to enhance biodiversity. Thus, the visit becomes a practical artistic experience of a special kind - with immediate relevance to one's own life world.
A place with tradition and room for discovery
The Botanical Garden of FAU uniquely combines research, teaching, education, and recreation. As an extracurricular learning place, it has long been a site for aesthetic experience, ecological connections, and cultural education. Its location in the heart of Erlangen adds a quiet intensity to the visit: green space, light, and seasons become a medium of perception here.
Conclusion: Wild Diversity in the Garden invites you to an inspiring exploration of the hidden life worlds of the garden. Anyone who wants to not only understand biodiversity but experience it with all senses should definitely visit this exhibition live in Erlangen.
