Next to the university campus and the Schloßgarten in Karlsruhe is the municipal botanical garden. The weather was great this morning, and I decided to take a walk there.When I got to the garden around 10 AM in the morning, there were very few visitors. Despite the budget entrance fee (free), Karlsruhers opted for shopping activities on the main strip in town center. It is hard to tell from the frenetic shoppers that Germany is in the midst of a deep recession. The mood does not appear to be as gloomy as that in the nearby town Pforzheim, described in this recent New York Times article.
The city has done a superb job on the botanical garden. Beds of flowers line the path that goes around the central ground. I particularly enjoy the tulips. Here are a few pictures I took this morning:
