Merian Gardens: Vorder Brüglingen is ready for the future.

A great deal of work on a great garden is coming to an end: in 2017, Fontana convinced the jury and the Christoph Merian Foundation with a master concept for Vorder Brüglingen: for the part of the famous Merian Gardens where, among others, the internationally renowned plant collections are located – in the middle of an ecologically valuable, landscaped park with relics of the exhibition Grün 80.

While we are still putting the finishing touches to the new old gardens here and there, the Christoph Merian Foundation has already announced the completion of the construction work. The Foundation’s press release summarises what is new above and below ground. The basic landscape architectural ideas behind the redesign can be found here.
