Secret Garden

A mossy path leads past overgrown millstones, wild plants and old relics to bring you to this garden. You are in an ancient patch of land that has a mystical atmosphere and suddenly you feel as though you are in another world. But what is that? A rotten door framed in a shattered brick wall! Where does it lead? Pick up one of the iPads at this feature and discover a fantastic world behind the door – welcome to The Secret Garden.

The Secret Garden is a playful combination of a traditional garden with state-of-the-art technology to deliver a truly immersive experience. Katerina Rafaj and Jens Haendeler are hoping to reconnect the younger generation with nature, while also demonstrating how technology can play a key role in today’s gardening world. Thanks to sponsors Fuerte International, they have been able to harness a technology called ‘augmented reality’ to create a blend of real world experience with the digital space to deliver a completely different dimension.
