Author Asli Bicen, ‘Building a Garden’ In his fine writing, it was the fault of being in a beautiful garden, one of the old private gardens, vineyards and orchards of Istanbul. Meanwhile, the Istanbul Mufti ‘swallowed’ You will read the story of Turkey’s first garden, the Alfred Heilbronn Botanical Garden.
It is a green field mosque where the times you look at the Süleyman Mosque from Karaköy are provided. That green area is the location of the first garden of three football fields in Turkey, namely the Alfred Heilbronn Botanical Garden. You are living in a garden where the turmoil of the outside is reflected on your face, the houses belonging to the fossil that speaks of the world, the Golden Horn and the Bosphorus on the left are here.
However, this garden is in disrepair since it was handed over to Diyanet in 2015. Istanbul University Botany Institute is now a derelict Institute.
how am i born?
The botanical store has seen good days, too. Let’s remember those past times:
The botanists who moved to Istanbul after the pressure of the Nazi education, Ord. Dr. Alfred Heilbronn and Ord. prof. Dr. Leo Brauner, zoologist Ord. Together with Andrea Naville, he established this garden in 1933. Two years later, the foundations of the school systems of the garden were laid, and in 1937, education and training began at the institute. At that time, the name of the garden was Hortus Botanicus Istanbulensis.
Once established, the Botanical Gardens are built, then the house, one of the first members of the Earth to become a member. Seeds were brought from around 500 orchards around the world. A flora care in Turkey or in 11 volumes. The institute was not here. The research has reached 10 thousand 350 plants. Even when this number reaches up to 12 thousand subspecies. He was joining Flora 70-80 times a year.
In order to explain the diversity in Turkey, it is beneficial to be rewarded as follows. The European continent has 13 thousand species in total. In Alfred Heilbronn Botanical Garden, 400 trees and shrubs from 127 families and approximately 3,500 herbaceous plants; 2 thousand 500 plants of various species were grown in the greenhouses. They prevented erosion for the land with a terrace with a total of 5 equestrian plants home vehicle land.
from plants from the Nile and Amazon rivers
The botanical garden has different temperatures and seven greenhouses where cold and hot country plants grow. Herbaceous and woody and epiphytic (another region) grown in tropical and subtropical education here. Coffee, cocoa, mango, anas, citrus species and banana species could be grown in tropical greenhouses.
Traps, water lilies, orchids, cacti, bougainvillea plants, wetland, Nile and Amazon river plants… These are just a few of the ones in the garden. Apart from today, the temple tree and ginkgo, whose history lasts 180 million years, have also been home to sago palms that will last 350 million years.
koi fish swimming
The 15 people in the garden arrangement are in 23 pools.
There is an iron treadmill at high altitude where there is a greenhouse on the poison sides. Climbing up and down from above, we see vines clinging to the iron. Under the giant palm trees, alocasia and starliçes grow. Cacti live in the far corner.
A pond on which water lilies lie welcomes you in a greenhouse where you can walk through the plants. It’s sagging because of the humidity inside. A banana tree with the green trunk of another pond. Even red bananas are grown here.
Koi fish live in an open pond. Famous for the future of the current, koi fish are swimming to help.
Mufti closed the garden
The two gardeners can be worked in the garden from their perspective, but the basic lessons are allowed to be possible. In the past, the garden, which could be played by everyone at Istanbul University, was transferred to primary education. This practice has been changed after they were removed from the university for anyone who would be asked for permission. Now the security guard at the gate says the garden is closed.
In the institute, studies are carried out on seeds, the previous ones, and studies on how genetics are made. The current state of the building excites the feeling of abandonment.
First awarded to 1993 marks
So how did the garden get to this stage?
The two-storey building in its garden was first floored. The upper two floors were deteriorated in 1957, which damaged the silhouette of the Süleymaniye Mosque within the Menderes Constructions. According to the history of the garden and the exhausted narration, too many consumables have been made affordable.
Although the floor was saved with the efforts of the IU Faculty of Science Dean’s Office and the Rectorate, it was insufficient for the garden and the building. When Süleyman Demirel, who will come to 1993, was the prime minister, the mufti would claim the garden and put on a new dress.invaderdefined as ‘. Planning this move, and without raising an environmentalist, it could be on the air in the garden. Cumhuriyet newspaper published the statement on January 23, 1993.What will the mufti do in this garden?‘ it announced with the title.
In line with the reactions, the Mufti took a step back and gave up membership. after two gardens protected land garden plants vegetation ‘conservation of nature’ as registered. The area where the garden is located was allocated to Istanbul University in 1996.
They enter the appointed rectors
After this development, there is no case of education about the garden for a long time. Until 2013 that is.
President of the University, Abdullah Gül, at a school appointed as the rector of Istanbul University, explains the day-to-day rectorate preferences at the school in full education, about the rectorship of the day, as follows:In particular, Mr. Prime Minister (Tayyip Erdogan) wants to make a plan: let’s make this place its old history. I had my estimations for about six months as follows, but the previousnet has released six historical photos for the first time that came up with their work. Indeed, it is the old meşihat circle, the former sheikh al-Islam, with its walls and garden… But on the other hand, Istanbul University has gardens and gardens for 60 years. On the one hand, we will revive it, but on the other hand, we want him to love his life and our garden.”
10% of the plants were saved
After a while, the Gezi Park journeys, which take a short 80 tour of Turkey from Istanbul, begin. Perhaps, for these few more years, the opinion about the schools of the garden is not expressed.
In August 2015, Fazıl Uğur Soylu, a member of the CHP council of Fatih municipality, to the Communication Center of the Prime Ministry for the hopes of the pleasant garden. In the response given to the Topkapı Police Department, it is stated that the allocation of the garden to Istanbul University has been abolished, and a reading directed at Soylu in the music service department.
The garden is facing that institution and the school. First, the number of gardeners is decreasing. Then on the entrance ‘Istanbul University Faculty of Science Alfred Heilbronn Botanical Garden‘ sign is removed, the door is also locked. 10 of which are in the phrase can be saved.
A conservatory would be created.
If the botanical institute and the garden had not been left to dry, a winter park would have been created in the garden. needed was good. From the winter gardens, you can sip the tea prepared with the herbs grown in the garden and watch Istanbul back to Süleymaniye. The income would cover the expenses of the garden. The only option now to watch the view of Istanbul is the decorated terraces of the old-style cafes of the Mosque.
As the mufti for the area of the garden and the view is in the Diyanet, what religious references are related to plants will see what trees and trees are seen to be cultivated as a legacy for the near futures. The interpretation of the 12th and 13th verses of the Surah Nahl in the Qur’an is as follows: says:
“The goal is the people who use it in the best way to use their people in the whole. With all these features, it is mentioned among the depictions of the day, the month, the calendar, and the ball being reconsidered in the Qur’an, as evidences that make those who know how to think correctly examine metaphysically, and give thanks to Allah.“
why do cities study gardens that can turn into a concrete ocean, where endemic species are found, for education and training purposes? Is it to like the religion and the creature rather than to believe it?
Not: This is the right garden related memory work Dilşad Aladağ and Eda Aslan’s publication from Manifold Many Places on the Trail of One Place your lover in Arkitera past from his writings and the history and plant booklets published by the Faculty of Science of Istanbul University were used.
Not: Used to take photos in the garden, photos in use today are from June 2019. The impressions are from last week.
