Farewell to summers bloom
I love to visit gardens on a rainy autumn day. Decaying nature still presents us breathtaking colours but lets you sense the melancholy of a farewell to summers bloom. In the Gärten der Welt, which means Gardens of the World, the designed landscapes bid goodbye with red and purple leaves but still greenish pastures.
While we walked in the rain leaves droped down und flowers bent their heads. It was like watching nature’s decay into winter.
Landscape design in traditional perfection
The logic behind the name Gardens of the World is simple: It invites you to Gardens of different cultures and regions. In the park you find a
Every garden shows typical plants and design of it’s country of origin. To be honest I found these gardens full of stereotypes. You will never find a Japanese garden outside of Japan who lacks zen circles drawn into the gravel.
Beautiful clichés
But of cause, all these clichés are still beautiful. They’d been built with the most accuracy I’ve ever seen. Brooks, hills and slopes, walls of erratic blocks, waterfalls, green pastures and small forests have been built with the knowledge and financial help of cultural associations and embassies. It’s a hand made landscape, a new born world forced to be finished for the International Garden Show 2017. But scedule failed in parts. The Jewish Garden has been added just recently.
