Dubai is to build the world's largest vertical garden and the world's biggest butterfly garden as part of an expansion to the Miracle Garden launched in Dubailand earlier this year.
As part of phase two, Dubai Properties Group's (DPG) partner Akar Landscaping & Agriculture Company will start work on the latest attractions, which are due to be unveiled in October 2013. In addition to the current variety of plant and flower species, the second phase of the 67 thousand square meters Miracle Garden will include the largest vertical garden in the world.
It will also feature an Edible Plants Garden from which visitors can pick their own fruits and vegetables and a Butterfly Garden, made up of an impressive 10 thousand live butterflies bred in the UAE for the first time.
The Butterfly Garden, set to be one of the biggest in the world, will be home to over 40 different species of butterfly. A breeding station is also set to be built to manage the butterfly population.
Other elements will include new children's attractions, a Flower Hills and Mountains themed garden and a retail area.
Currently, world's largest vertical garden is situated in Italy. Last year a shopping centre near Milan claimed an unusual record -- the biggest vertical garden in the world, covering a surface of 1250 square meters with a total of 44 thousand plants.
