Public Crevice Gardens

Mendel University Botanická zahrada a arboretum

Brno, Czechia

Public Crevice Gardens have progressed since this 1968 installation of tufa and slate crevices in slides and walls in BRNO, CZ, at the Botanic Garden/Arboretum of Mendelově University. The garden architect Ivar Otruba based his style on natural features: mountainsides and prairies. The rock garden curator, Josef Holzbecher, used metal, concrete, stone and wood to create natural looking plant habitats in the garden.
