Very Beautiful Clock & it's purpose

The flower clock, is an outdoor flower clock located on the western side of Jardin Anglais park in Geneva. The clock was created in 1955 as a symbol of the city's watchmakers, and a dedication to nature. Around 6,500 flowering plants and shrubs are used for the clock face. The plants are changed as the seasons change. Geneva's most famous clock is photographed daily by hundreds of tourists from all over the world. While it's a great location for photos & videos ,t's important to understand the purpose for the same. There is a flyer near the flower clock and we saw a nice toy train taking rounds of the garden. From across the Flower Clock ,you can see many buildings with signage from various luxury brands from Switzerland. Nice place to visit.

    Different every visit!
    The floral clock is one of Geneva's iconic attractions, along with the fountain and other attractions. You drive past it as you drive in and it is located near the lake which is a tourist trap. I've had several visits to Geneva and the clock looks different everytime.

    Beautiful and unique sight
    We enjoyed walking by and spending a few minutes looking at the Flower Clock when we were in Geneva. It's a unique flower sculpture, and apparently has some of the largest clock hands in the world (it's a functioning clock). They maintain the area beautifully and update the flowers throughout the year. We enjoyed taking the time to see this unique sight in the midst of Geneva.
