Wild Diversity in the Garden: When the Botanical Garden Erlangen Becomes a Laboratory for Biodiversity
The exhibition Wild Diversity in the Garden opens the view to that silent, often overlooked vitality that shapes every garden. At the Botanical Garden Erlangen, visitors encounter an exhibition that makes ecological connections visible and allows the garden to be experienced as a multifaceted habitat.
An Artistic Experience of Nature Observation
Between the outdoor area and the greenhouse entrance unfolds a precisely curated exhibition about fungi, mosses, insects, micro-organisms, and vertebrates. The presentation does not rely on spectacle but on knowledge: those who look closely discover a network of shapes, colors, materials, and lifestyles. Thus, the contemplation of work becomes an aesthetic experience of biodiversity.
Making Ecological Relationships Visible
The exhibition presents groups of organisms that easily remain hidden in everyday life and introduces ecological relationships that allow gardens to be understood as complex systems. 15 large theme panels structure the tour, including contributions on fungi as key organisms, lichens as sensitive environmental indicators, wild bees, butterflies, amphibians, reptiles, and habitats such as ponds, puddles, and streams.
Education, Research, and Practice
The exhibition connects to a BioBlitz action in botanical gardens and combines citizen science with museum education. Visitors not only gain knowledge but also concrete suggestions for balconies, gardens, and nature-friendly areas. Thus, the exhibition becomes a vivid example of cultural education in the green: informative, accessible, and directly related to everyday life.
The Botanical Garden as a Learning and Experience Space
The Botanical Garden of FAU sees itself as a place where research, teaching, education, and recreation come together. Its plant collections make the diversity of the plant world tangible and provide a calm, focused setting for the artistic experience of nature observation. The combination of scientific communication and atmospheric openness gives the exhibition its special quality.
Conclusion
Wild Diversity in the Garden invites you to sharpen your view and read the nature in the garden anew. Those who want to not only understand biodiversity but experience it sensibly should definitely visit this exhibition live in Erlangen.
