ALLERGIES AND PLANT USAGE - THE ALLERGOLOGICAL GARDENS IN THE BAD LIPPSPRINGE COMMUNICATION PARK

Author:   V. Seyfang
Keywords:   allergies, plant usage, public open space, landscape architecture
Abstract:
The EXPO 2000 motto: The ‘World as Garden’ was also taken up in the design of the Allergological gardens in Bad Lippspringe and realized in the Communication Park of the Allergy Centre in Bad Lippspringe. These gardens presenting allergenic plants in communities and combinations are examples of real environmental situations and are intended to inform and instruct people who are either affected by or interested in allergies. More than 250 different allergenic plant species are grown in six different theme gardens. These plantings are complemented by other plants relative to the theme gardens but of a harmless nature.
