Like small islands in an undulating sea of green, the World of Nature’s gardens lie hidden in a large bed of reeds. In order to reach them, travellers have to walk along narrow wooden pathways.
The gardens show a ‘nature’ of the future and have unusual names such as the ‘Garden of the Flying Strawberries’ or ‘Gardening on Mars’. This world’s charm lies in the contrast between that which is naturally grown with that which is designed, i.e., artificial nature. Here we find high reeds, and there interactively animated plants, interplanetary gardens, and the food of an overfished future: plankton cake, jellyfish cutlets, and algae salad.

The interplanetary garden
Outer space, infinite expanses ... will we live and tend our gardens in outer space, too, sometime? Will plants still exist then, or will something completely different develop? This garden takes visitors on a trip to an uncertain, but exciting future and opens new horizons.

Animated plant fantasies
A colourful array of flowers welcomes the visitor to this garden. Luminescent orchids, radiant sunflowers, gladioli gently swaying in the wind, the ground covered with a carpet of crocuses. We would like to bend down and pick a large bunch of flowers, but what is that? Where is the fragrance…? Since when do crocuses and roses blossom at the same time? And why are the roses suddenly flickering?

Food production going up in smoke
The world is heading for a food shortage crisis. The demand for food is increasing – the amount of arable land area is shrinking. The imminent collapse of the fishing industry will become a huge sustentation problem for many people on this earth.
In large water tanks the food of the future bubbles and seethes. Have you ever eaten plankton cake? Seaweed salad? Jellyfish schnitzel?
