For most of us, the thought of living in a botanical garden might seem like heaven. The lush scenery, the fresh smell in the air, and the wondrous flowers all surrounding you.
In the Botanical Garden, there are many things to discover. You can see the green plants and trees, you must find the colorful flowers, you’re needing to smell the nature fragrance, and you will feel the dew on your skin.
1. Cacti and Succulents
When it comes to plants, succulents and cacti are a popular choice, and can be addictive! Succulents in particular make great houseplants.
They’re relatively easy to grow, but will need sunlit windowsills year-round if you do decide to keep them in your home—think about adding extra indoor lightbulbs and/or lamps for a boost.
2. Flowers
A flower, technically known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure of flowering plants.
3. Herbs
In general use, herbs are plants that have savory, aromatic properties used for flavoring and garnishing food — as well as medicinal or fragrance purposes. In culinary use, this differs from spices, which are not typically eaten by themselves.
The word herbs generally refers to the green leaves or flowering part of a plant (fresh or dried), while spices usually come from other parts of the plant, including seeds, roots, bark and pulp.
4. Houseplants
A houseplant can be used as a decorative item in places such as a residence or office to add personality and life to a room, but the effects have been studied for mental health as well.
5. Trees
A tree is a perennial plant characterized by its woody trunk. It branches out into leaves and grows very tall in many tropical regions.
A very broad definition of a tree might include plants which have secondary growth, like palms, and plants with long trunks that are chopped down for lumber.
Mango trees may come to mind immediately since they are very high and bend under the weight of their fruits each year before regrowing from the base.
