Australian Gardens - Future Garden

Photos raised garden beds

This area has been set out with a number of raised garden beds, which gives a eye catching effect. Each garden bed has been planted out in a colour theme eg: red, blue, yellow, orange flowering plants and so on. Planted in the garden bed with the red border are some of Australia's rare and endangered plants. This area gives the visitor a wonderful view of how truly beautiful a native garden can look.

The red and white pole through out the raised beds are a reference to scale bars which are use in scientific journals to scale size plants. They have been used in these garden beds to indicate the size the plants would grow to in the wild if they have not been genetically modified in any way. They all so make eye catching display and a good talking point as visitors wander around this section.

This garden is designed to highlight the reality and the difficulties posed by the artificial manipulation of our plants to achieve particular commercial or aesthetic results. It includes horticultural techniques eg: grafting, hybridisation, developing of cultivars and recently plant bioengineering.
