Flower gardens are the norm in temperate regions of the world and one very rarely comes across open air gardens in a desert environment. It is therefore, indeed a miracle of environmental effort, to create a vast open air garden in Dubai.

Aptly called , the Miracle Garden , it is a feast for the senses. Spread across several acres , this open air garden has more than 45 million flowers of all shades and hues.

Calendulas, marigolds, petunias and many other genuses create a kaleidoscope of colours which is a treat for the eyes.

The landscaping is also world class with flower beds constructed in various shapes and dimensions. There is an area which has a display of flower bedecked vintage cars. Green Hope members toured the garden recently and it was a learning experience for us to see how a barren landscape can be changed into a fertile, sustainable area.
