In 1985, the Augsburg Garden Expo was held east of the city near the botanical gardens. The Hyogo-ken sister city sponsored the construction of a new garden in conjunction with the expo. The design is for a grove of European beech trees. The design emphasizes the planes of site rather than the location of features.
