🏢 About the local organisation

The Ethno-botanical garden shares knowledge with visitors about the importance of the environment. It is also a research and conservation project. The garden serves as a community project where visitors can learn and gain new experiences through contact with the natural environment. The project aims to show the community the importance of plants, not only for their natural value but also for the use and the pleasure they provide to humanity. The garden encourages the community to get involved in the conservation of our natural resources. The garden project is divided into 5 areas: PLANTS: plants are collected according to types of vegetation. INSECTS: insects in the garden are documented.
