Wild Diversity in the Garden: An exhibition that sharpens the view of nature in urban space
At the Botanical Garden Erlangen, the exhibition Wild Diversity in the Garden provides a precise and poetic approach to biodiversity. The presentation makes it visible that a garden is much more than ornamental plants and beds: fungi, mosses, microorganisms, insects, and vertebrates form a living network of ecological relationships.
An artistic experience between science and sensory perception
The exhibition combines natural historical communication with a visual exploration of works in a broader sense. Those who walk through the grounds experience colors, shapes, structures, and spatial effects as part of a greater whole. Deadwood, leaf litter, and open sandy areas appear not as marginal zones but as aesthetically and ecologically significant elements of a complex habitat.
Biodiversity as cultural education
The starting point is the BioBlitz event 2025, where thousands of species were documented in botanical gardens. This research and observation clarify how closely plants, animals, and microorganisms are interconnected. For visitors, this becomes an aesthetic experience with educational value: nature appears not as static but as a dynamic system that rewards attention and knowledge.
The Botanical Garden as a place of discovery
The Botanical Garden Erlangen belongs to the well-established scientific gardens of Friedrich-Alexander University. Since the 19th century, it has been a place of academic teaching, botanical collection, and public insight. The exhibition fits into this curatorial line and shows how garden culture, research, and environmental awareness work together.
Why the visit is worthwhile
Wild Diversity in the Garden offers an informed, inspiring view of the hidden inhabitants of the garden. The exhibition imparts knowledge, promotes ecological sensitivity, and strengthens awareness of natural connections in everyday life. Anyone interested in plants, natural history, and cultural education should definitely experience this presentation live at the Botanical Garden Erlangen.
