In a shady, sheltered location at the Cruickshank Botanic Garden, Aberdeen, there was a large colony of Blechnum chilense (Chilean hard fern). This evergreen fern is from the damp woodlands of central Chile.

Gijs Van Vaerenbergh | Island Garden

A new "island garden" has been inaugurated at the Meise Botanical Gardens outside of Brussels in September 2022.

The island garden is formed by a group of islets on the large lake located on the larger grounds.

"It’s a special walk on the water. A group of islands and different levels create a range of aquatic biotopes. You only reach them via a 400-metre meandering walk across the water."

Several species of plants have already been placed, including water cypress (Metasequoia glyptostroboides), swamp cypress (Taxodium distichum) and serpentine pine (Araucaria araucana).

Still to come are new trees, shrubs and aquatic and marsh plants, with more than 400 species in total that will take root next planting season.

Artist-architects Gijs Van Vaerenbergh and Atelier Arne Deruyter were behind much of the unique garden’s design.

“In the heart of Belgian’s Meise Botanic Garden, a small island is situated in the centre of a centuries-old castle pond,” Van Vaerenbergh explained.

“It was the ambition to transform this island into a new and extensive collection of water - and shore plants, in addition to the numerous botanical collections on the site.”

In order to make the site accessible, a 500-metre-long concrete platform was built, using the landscape as a formwork and deep pillars for support.

“Then, by digging away the earth in very precise locations, we introduced water on the island and created a micro-topography for an ‘ensemble’ of different water and shore biotopes like a mangrove, a fern forest, a European swamp, a fen,” explained Van Vaerenbergh.

The dramatic flowers of the South African Strelitzia reginae (bird of paradise) are pollinated by birds and the flowers have sturdy stems that can bear the weight of several birds at a time.

Portrait for Elodie at the Botanic Garden

I made this Portrait for Elodie at the Botanic Garden, Berlin in 2023. In wintertime, if you are looking for an outdoor shoot, probably cold weather will be a challenge for your model. Botanic Garden Berlin (Botanischer Garten Berlin) is one of the best photo spots for taking photos in Berlin. There are so many beautiful plants and flowers from all around the world. I made all portraits with the available natural light. If you are visiting Berlin and looking for a location for photography, read my post here.

Analog portrait for Elodie at the Botanic Garden

I love Analog photography and started to photograph analog in the year 2000 when I was a 13-year-old teenager. I made these portraits with my Mamiya RB67 medium format camera with a 180 mm Lens. My film was a Kodak Portra 800. I developed my film in the Foto Kotti Lab in Berlin, then I digitized my negatives with my digital camera. If you want to learn how to scan your film negatives with a digital camera, click here. See more photos from this shooting here.

Elodie Souslikoff If you are planning to take photos or video at Berlin botanischer garten, there are some rules and guidelines: - you can only walk in the tracks. - removing the signs and tags is forbidden. - When you are using Tripods or Light stands, you need to give way to other visitors and not block the way. - If you are using lights that make a hit, you need to inform the responsible people in the Garden. - Do not touch the Plants. - To use drones, you need to get an extra permit. - Be careful about data protection rules in Germany. If any of the visitors are in your frame, be sure you can get permission from them, or don't use the footage or photos.
