I am now doing a research project on the site and hence, discovered your blog...thanks for refreshing my memory!

And I really appreciate the garden recommendations, I will try to fit them in during my next trip to Germany. If you have any other suggestions, I am always happy to find out about new gardens.The Garden Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16598845282855975458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-520704682053936566.post-27924535459784507092012-03-29T14:51:06.206+02:002012-03-29T14:51:06.206+02:00Hi!

I live nearby and I was not aware of that. One reason can be, that it is not a park in the sense of "garden", it is more a cultural center. It is used as a concert hall, a open air theater, for bicycle races, scuba diving (yes indeed!), climbing, parties etc. <br /><br />The Landschaftspark is illuminated by night. It's worth seeing it. <br />http://en.landschaftspark.de/the-park/light-installation<br /><br />I fully agree with your opinion regarding the Grugapark in Essen. It is a nice spot for locals, especially families with kids (it offers a lot of small animals and playgrounds), but not for garden lovers.<br /><br />I have two recommendations:<br />The first is the Museumsinsel Hombroich. It is a combination of art exhibition and park near Neuss. A little bit strange, but interesting. <br />http://www.inselhombroich.de/main.htm<br /><br />The second is one of the most popular gardens in Germany,the Gartenreich Wörtlitz in Dessau.<br />http://www.gartenreich.com/en/index.html<br /><br />All the best<br />DonatellaDonatellanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-520704682053936566.post-22970250512860037702012-03-25T01:00:18.376+01:002012-03-25T01:00:18.376+01:00Hi!

It really is an unusual and slightly disturbing place. It brings back the memories of walking though abandonded sites like this when I was a kid.asan55https://www.blogger.com/profile/13745153611403728441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-520704682053936566.post-28125515279509679952012-03-23T08:31:17.923+01:002012-03-23T08:31:17.923+01:00Wei - feel free to use the pictures.

Strangely, parts of it remind me vaguely of the Grounds for Sculpture in New Jersey. Very different, but some of the "garden rooms" have a similar feel. I wonder if anyone has done a large format gook on this park. It is a hard one to understand from a blog.

I would be very interested to read it, but it doesn't seem to be available online and I'm not sure I could get my hands on a copy of the journal here in Belgium.

I was hoping to get some discussion going on this one, but maybe it's because like me, others don't quite know what to make of this type of garden. It's hard to get the real atmosphere of the place across in a blog - I'll be curious to find out what you think of it if you come over for a visit.The Garden Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16598845282855975458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-520704682053936566.post-24643314509675186632012-01-28T00:07:10.236+01:002012-01-28T00:07:10.236+01:00I'm amazed there have been no comments on this...I'm amazed there have been no comments on this post! I've read of this park, and seen a few photos, but your photos provide a much more detailed view not available before. This is a very important garden. I hope to be able to get to it in the not too distant future. Thanks for this one too (in addition to your Hermanshof posts).James Goldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12718058779971621920noreply@blogger.com
