The main entrance to the Botanical Gardens in Kiel is unique thanks to the wrought-iron gate designed by the artist couple Lange. The butter trees in the Africa house of the greenhouse complex are the template. (Source: botanischer-garten.uni-kiel.de/de/der-garten/gartenbereiche/freilandreviere/bereich_haupteingang)
The gate also includes fence elements, which also represent different plants. This artistic design, which was carried out a few years ago, gave the entire entrance area an unmistakable, inviting touch. Beautifully planted beds, benches and a covered pavilion invite you to linger in the entrance area.
