As the world’s gaze falls upon Beijing this summer, one of the most breathtaking sights to take in at the 29th Olympic Games is the dazzling botanical display for the Olympic Topiary Gardens of artistic garden sculptures — an exhibit depicting the beauty and value of biodiversity and ongoing efforts of 80 botanic gardens from more than 25 countries to preserve our natural plant heritage.

The exhibit will be displayed at the Science and Technology Park near the Olympic Village, Beijing, China from July 8th to September 8th 2008 where you can take in the sights free of charge.  

The distinctive World Botanic Gardens Exhibition for “Homes for plants, Gardens for humans” is the culmination of months of hard work by organizers Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Botanic Gardens Popular Network, Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Committee, and Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI).
