Wild Diversity in the Garden: An Exhibition about the Hidden Life in Green
At the Botanical Garden Erlangen, the exhibition Wild Diversity in the Garden opens the view for those organisms that are often overlooked in everyday life. Fungi, mosses, microorganisms, insects, and vertebrates are not presented as marginal figures but as key players in a vibrant ecosystem.
An Artistic Experience of Nature Observation
The presentation unfolds an exhibition atmosphere where nature education, aesthetic experience, and scientific precision intertwine. 15 large thematic panels guide through ecological contexts, habitats, and measures to promote more biodiversity in one's own garden or on the balcony. The view shifts from inconspicuous structures to big questions of coexistence in nature.
From Fungi to Wild Bees: the Invisible Network
The content focus is on ecological relationships in the garden. The exhibition shows how fungi act as key organisms, how lichens and mosses respond to changes, and how wild bees, wasps, and butterflies shape the network of flowers, pollinators, and antagonists. Amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and aquatic habitats are also made visible in this context.
Knowledge that Changes Perspectives
The exhibition emerges from a citizen science perspective and ties in with the BioBlitz action 2025, during which thousands of observations were documented in botanical gardens. This results in an educational offer that combines species knowledge, environmental education, and cultural education. Fact sheets of individual habitats provide concrete suggestions for everyday life and make biodiversity immediately tangible.
The Botanical Garden as a Place of Discovery
The Botanical Garden of Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg has been a place of academic teaching and public enlightenment since 1828. With around 5000 plant species, changing exhibitions, and public tours, it convincingly connects collection, research, and education. It is precisely this connection that lends authority and appeal to the exhibition.
Conclusion
Wild Diversity in the Garden invites you to experience the garden not just as a designed space, but as a complex habitat. Anyone interested in nature, biodiversity, and illustrative science will find here an exhibition experience with a sustainable change of perspective. A visit is definitely worth it live on site.
