Who doesn’t want to enjoy the cool breeze in a park and spend free time walking hand in hand with loved ones? It is said that these gardens are a place where singles, lovers, families and even the elderly people like to go for various reasons. That’s why you can see different types of gardens in almost every country. There are playgrounds, botanical gardens, amusement parks as well as parks dedicated to sports and adventure activities. Among the common gardens around the world, we can see some strange gardens that are not so common. This is about some such parks. Meanwhile, you can see parks full of natural trees and plants as well as parks containing various things created by man. Let’s read and know about these special gardens that go beyond the ordinary and show strangeness for one reason or another.
1. Alnwick Park
This strange garden, known as one of the strangest and most dangerous gardens in the world, is located in England. Although it is a park with a very distant history, which is believed to have been created during the time of the Dukes of Northumberland in the past, this park has been in a wild state until it was renovated in the early 21st century. Along with ornamental flowers in this garden, in an area separated by a separate gate, many poisonous plants can be seen. Upon entering this part of the park, visitors are warned not to stop and inhale the scent of the flowers. More than 100 types of the most exotic flowers can be seen in this garden.
2. Forestiere Underground Park
When we think of a park, we immediately think of an environment full of grass, green, and cold winds, but this park is a completely different concept. This park is not located on the surface of the ground. Below ground level. This wonderful underground park is located in the state of California, USA. Throughout this park, you can see the designs made by Baldasare Forestier, an immigrant who came from Sicily, Italy and lived in California. Although it is actually called a garden, here you can see a house with bedrooms and a kitchen built separately for the cold and hot seasons. From 1906 until his death in 1946, he has been involved in this design for 40 years. The park is named after him.
3. Garden of Cosmic Speculation
This is also a very strange looking park. We don’t see big trees and plants in this park. Instead, we have to see various designs built on a small grassy ground. These designs are not ordinary cement or stone designs. All over the park, you can see the designs made according to the science of cosmology in strange shapes. This garden was designed by Charles Jenks, a landscape architect and theorist. This garden has been created near his own home in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. This is a private garden. But one day in a year, for a period of 5 hours, tickets are issued and opened for outsiders to see.
4. Rock Garden
This wonderful Rock Garden is located in our neighboring city of Chandigarh, India. Throughout the park there are designs made from various things that are discarded in the city. Anyone will be amazed to see how the discarded items have been used in a very creative way. Nek Chand, an ordinary civil servant, started the construction of this park in 1957. He has prepared various designs by collecting various materials that are discarded from houses and buildings. But the land he chose to make these designs is a land preserved for building construction. That’s why he keeps this garden a secret for 18 years. When the authorities finally found the place, it was a 12-acre site filled with hundreds of sculptures. Fortunately, the government does not destroy these designs. Instead, they pay Chand a salary and put him on duty in this park. Today, this wonderful garden is spread over 40 acres.
5. Bookworm Park
This is also a special park. A very pleasant garden, especially for those who read the book. This garden, known as Bookwarm Garden or bookworms’ garden, is located in America. This is an ordinary botanical garden. It means a place full of various flowers and decorative plants, trees and leaves. But in the meantime, you can see activities and statues that include the events of more than 60 famous children’s story books. Laminated books have been placed at the entrances to each section of the park. And the happiest thing is that there is no charge to enter this park.
6. The Garden of Tarot
Tarot Garden is another sculpture garden. This wonderful park is located in Italy. Tarot card reading is an occult art. All the statues that can be seen throughout this park are created based on the so-called Tarot Shastra done This park is designed by a French-American artist named Nicky de Saint Falle. This wonderful park was opened to the public in 1998. Although it was created on the basis of mysticism, it is a very eye-pleasing appearance that is beyond mysticism.
7. Arctic-Alpine Botanical Garden
This is a very beautiful garden full of very common flowering trees. This park is located in Norway. The park is managed by the Tromsø University Museum. The park was started in 1994. But this is why this park is unusual. This garden is considered to be the closest botanical garden to the North Pole. A large number of Arctic and Alpine plants native to the Northern Hemisphere can be seen throughout this park even in the extreme cold environment.
