At one of the places we went there where two toe guides free so we split in to two groups. I went with the group that went to the garden to see something different and because I dont know much about plants. My faforite part of the garden wad the medicinal plant section of the garden and the banana 'tree'. While some of the plants we know know to have no uses besids decoration some of the plants are still used like one that makes your pupils dilate which is used for eye examinations
And the plant from which advil was originally made. Some of the plants are no longer thought to have medicinal properties but are now common in the kitchen like dill and cumin. It was also interesting to learn that the bannas that we eat all have identocal dna because natural bananas have seeds that make them inedible to humans but sometimes a plant without seeds are found and reproduced asexualy by banana farmers.
