These and other questions follow the travelling exhibition “Gardens in Lower Franconia,” which the District of Lower Franconia presented from 22 July 2018, first in the Museum für Franken at the Marienberg Fortress in Würzburg.

Whether for recreation or food, or to demonstrate wealth and power: there are many reasons for people creating, and continuing to create gardens. This cultural diversity of gardens is also reflected in the richly illustrated exhibition, which is aimed at a wide audience, garden lovers, nature lovers and families. It focuses on attractive Lower Franconian gardens which can be visited by everyone with an interest while also giving a historical overview of how gardens have developed in our region.
