Dubai Miracle Garden Facts
The World’s Biggest Natural Flower Garden
Sprawling over an area of about 72,000 square meters of land, Miracle Garden is the world’s largest natural flower garden, decked with an awe-inspiring assortment of flowers – most of which are rare and seen for first time in the Middle East, such as petunias and geraniums. Designed and developed by the Al-Ain based Akar Landscaping and Agriculture Company, this is a natural splendor nestled close to Arabian Ranches, in Dubailand.
Celebration of Colors
With over 45 million flowers grown and bloomed in a spectrum of colors, styles, and shapes resembling stars, hearts, circles, sculptures, vintage-style vehicles, igloos, and pyramids, the garden is truly a sight for sore eyes amid city’s hustles and bustles. In fact, an endless list of floral varieties, about 120 species, including seasonal specialties has been used to create a garden paradise in the heart of the desert city. It owns the largest numbers of Petunia flowers, which are versatile in embellishments and can bear even the harshest climates of Dubai. Other popular flowers include marigolds, roses, calendulas, and tulips.
Smart and responsible water usage
What makes this attraction more intriguing is its unique sub-surface irrigation system that recycles wastewater via drip irrigation while avoiding evaporation and saving up to 75% of water and energy. The maintenance of the garden swallows up 757,000 liters per day. In earlier days the only medium was the sea of Gulf which cost an arm and leg. But the desalination price has been slashed by a huge margin after this smart installation, where the fleet of trucks drives around collecting sewage water. This water purification system makes effective use of the wastewater.
