The Garden Of the Earth
Description
The Garden of the Earth, a journey around the vegetable world.
On 16,06 a, the garden park, designed to form a map of the world, invites you to discover the fabulous intertwined voyage of men and plants. Meant for walking, dreaming and finding out, it houses over 700 different European species. Each plant is situated on the continent it came from: look for lilacs in China and for dahlias in Mexico.
Persons in character dress, playful and interactive set-ups complete the extraordinary voyage: the "Terra incognita", the "Grain of Life Space", and the "Garden of Experiences". In the last one, respect for the Earth is offered through numerous gardeners' attitudes and experiences.
The little extra of the journey: all along the European forests, 220 reproductions of 86 different mushroom varieties are hiding between mosses and ferns.
Created in : 1997, Surface : 6,5 ha
