Wild Diversity in the Garden: An Exhibition about Hidden Life Between Leaves and Beds
In the Botanical Garden Erlangen, the exhibition "Wild Diversity in the Garden" opens the view to a silent, often overlooked world: mushrooms, mosses, insects, microorganisms, vertebrates, and ecological relationships that make the garden a vibrant artistic experience of nature. The presentation is designed as an outdoor exhibition and combines aesthetic experience with biological education. Entry is free.

A Garden as a Living System
This exhibition understands the garden not as a decorative backdrop, but as a complex habitat. Between open land, paths, and the entrance to the greenhouses, a creative spatial effect unfolds, intertwining nature observation and curation. The panels show how biodiversity arises, why dead branches, damp corners, or inconspicuous plant structures are ecologically significant, and why it is precisely the small organisms that carry the big picture.

Ecology, Research, and Cultural Education
Contentwise, the exhibition connects to the work of the Botanical Garden as a scientific institution of FAU. The garden combines research, teaching, education, and recreation; its plant collections make biological diversity vividly tangible and promote understanding for sustainable action. As an extracurricular learning location, it conveys ecological relationships and natural knowledge in an inviting manner. ([botanischer-garten.fau.de](https://www.botanischer-garten.fau.de/besuch/))
The exhibition addresses themes that are particularly relevant in contemporary environmental education: biodiversity, symbioses, habitats, pollinators, fungal ecology, and the role of botanical gardens in climate change. Especially in the combination of open land, greenhouse environment, and thematic panels, a journey that is both educational and atmospheric emerges.

Visitor Experience in the Botanical Garden Erlangen
The Botanical Garden offers a clear and well-structured infrastructure for visitors. The open land is open from April 3 to September from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM; entry is free. The garden is centrally located in Erlangen, directly at the Schlossgarten, making it easy to incorporate into a city tour. Toilets are located in the entrance area of the greenhouses, but parts of the garden are not barrier-free. ([botanischer-garten.fau.de](https://www.botanischer-garten.fau.de/besuch/))
Particularly appealing is the combination of scientific precision and sensory garden atmosphere: colors, structures, light, and vegetation can be experienced directly. Those who look closely discover the actual drama of nature in the seemingly unremarkable – networking, change, and adaptation.
