The first botanists to decide that this would be the perfect place to do their research are remembered in stone. They had the idea that they could cultivate the jungle for food and other plant based products.
Today an area of the botanical garden is kept open for tours. Many of the houseplants or tropical plants that we use in our own gardens were on display in a super-size! We were treated to a feast of luscious juicy fruit before we went on our way. It was all hand-picked and delivered to our shady picnic area via bicycle carts like the one in my painting.
