14 images from the world’s largest flower garden

The next time you’re having a hard time pulling out some weeds, spare a thought for the gardener attending to the United Arab Emirates’ Dubai Miracle Garden.

Launched on Valentine’s Day in 2013, the Dubai Miracle Garden is the world’s largest natural flower garden featuring over 45 million flowers planted over 72,000 square metres.

Built in the space of just two years, the Dubai Miracle Garden is a miracle of modern innovation and has already staked a claim to being one of the best parks in the world.

Petunias, geraniums, marigolds and many more varieties of flower are displayed in the park, arranged into intricate patterns, designs and sculptures.

The park features high tree walls to protect the plants from the arid desert conditions and a drip irrigation system to feed the plants. The garden has entered the Guinness Book of Records for its massive wall made of flowers, which is three meters high and 800 meters long.

Check out the gallery above to see amazing images from the garden.
