That's right. Immersive experiences in gardens, parks, and related green spaces promote rejuvenation, transforming them into one of the best healing environments for mankind. I'm glad you're familiar with the proper names of some plant species. This goes to show how passionate you are in floriculture and horticulture. At the end of the day, parks must ideally cater to the mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being of people. 😊
Botanical gardens here have sections for the blind to enjoy through touch and smell. Each section like entering another part of the country, stick to indigenous in most the larger gardens for people to promote growth around their home gardens.
If you lucky enough to do a tour with a guide many plants, roots, bark of trees are explained as to medicinal uses through tribal knowledge handed down through generations.
Co-existing with nature is where we humans need to learn/re-learn we have forgotten too much living in cities.
Isn't it amazing how botanical gardens have evolved into valuable places not only for ordinary tourists but also for people with special needs? If I had no eyesight or some other disability, I'd surely feel at home in a natural environment like the one you've mentioned. Congrats to your homeland for pursuing such an incredible project!
Additionally, certain plant species have always been a source of medicinal remedies. And I'd absolutely love to expand my knowledge on that aspect. Mother Nature in general is the ultimate physician and infinite fountain of well-being.
In fact, if we don't have time to enjoy the green spaces of our cities, crafting and maintaining home gardens is the nearest thing to basking in the ecological benefits of our world. 😊
We visited the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden Cape Town 30 years ago, then noticed in Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden Johannesburg, looked around our Durban Botanic Gardens found similar presentation.
Directs one to look more into our natural habitat which many Bantu and our Ancestors thrived on arriving in these lands, needless to say the Khoisan, people knew all this long before we all arrived....
Grateful for sharing the names of those renowned institutions of the environment. The long history of their fantastic experiences has proven that we can never be wrong with Mother Nature. I'll surely check those places out when I get the chance to visit your part of the world. 😊
Each very different depending on where you are, much like the one you explored they have a touch of magic in presentation.
