Flower Clock
(Sights & Activities - Sightseeing)
quai du Général-Guisan
Geneva CH-1201

Description:
A popular local landmark, the Flower Clock sits at the edge of the Jardin Anglais. The clock face is made of roughly 6500 flowering perennials and annuals that are replanted, rebedded, and relandscaped twice a year. The clock sits on an incline, measures five meters in diameter and dates back to 1955. Originally commissioned by the Office of Tourism, this technological and gardening marvel was financed by the Vaud and Geneva's Union of Watchmakers.
