Captivating botanical experience - This experience was extraordinary for us. The tour guide, in addition to having an evident scientific and cultural expertise in each of the plant species, invited us to get to know them through all of our senses, thus provoking an intellectual, spiritual, and physical experience in relation to the earth, its fruits and the creatures that depend on them; such as hens, bees, birds, and us humans. We were also explained the function that each of the species has in relation to its -carefully selected- ecosystem and the soil. In this way, we were able to appreciate them in their optimal state, as this is reflected in the delicious flavor that each species of plant presented, its intense color, its delicious flavor and a texture that is both strong and delicate, sometimes reminiscent of silk. This garden is a gift. It is a space that is evidence of human genius, passion, generosity and intellectuality towards Earth. Eternal thanks to our guide, he shared a lot with us.
