Bergius (viii)

132

Compared to other botanic gardens, like Kew in London or Meise outside of Brussels, the Bergius garden is not big. But somehow, they have still managed to divide it into several distinctly different parts, sections with such completely different characteristics. There are the flowerbeds with garden flowers, the sections representing different more or less exotic ecosystems – but also, the recreated wetland and several meadows, that are managed, but only sparingly. They look like they are allowed to grow as they will, host the plants that happen to find their way there – and the insects and birds that thrive in this half-wilderness!
