Dubai Miracle Garden with #HDYGG

I love visiting Dubai Miracle Gardens, I find it totally fascinating to wander around, looking at the variety of plants and the vibrant colours that are growing in the desert. However it is a little bit on the tacky side.

It was March 9th on my last visit, Valentines appears to be a month long celebration.

 Various and random items have been decorated with flowers, trains, cars, bicycles, horse and carriage and a windmill, there doesn't appear to be a theme.

 A house, windmill and the Burj Khalifa have been constructed out of oranges and lemons. I have no idea why, there was no information available and it was all made from artificial fruit with big chunks missing out the structure.



 But despite all that there are some lovely decorations, that flow nicely in the grounds, seating areas have been added, there is plenty of shaded areas, provided by umbrellas and hanging baskets.












The secret to the successful planting is keeping the plants in their pots and not directly planting into the sand.

I will continue to visit the miracle gardens throughout the year until it gets too hot, as there aren't many places in Dubai with this much colour and life in them.

    Nice to see so much colour in Dubai. That ceiling with all the purple flowers in hanging baskets is really impressive. Were many of the flowers scented? If they were, I imagine that would smell pretty amazing in the heat of the sun.

    So much colour and there less is definitely not more!
    I'm always amazed at how they get everything to grow so well despite the heat - they must use sooooo much water.

    Thanks for bringing the colour to us all!

      you're welcome, all the flowers are planted in individual pots which i assume reduces the water consumption

    It is a bit full on isn't it? Still it must be nice to see so much colour before the heat becomes too much. It must be like a reverse winter.

    Gosh it's absolutely wild - I mean wild with colour! Even if over the top I think it's fabulous that they're displaying so many flowers and more to show what a difference colour and nature can make in a landscape even when they're buildings made of oranges and lemons.
