Utrecht University Gardens
I have always enjoyed looking at and caring for plants in veritable gardens back home, so strolling through the university gardens was an enlightening experience for me. It is always interesting to learn how different plants can be grown in areas where they would normally have died or not even been able to start growing at all. I also enjoyed learning the uses of different plants as a medicine, or food, how poisonous they may be, or why you might only see one variety of them in parks instead of another.

It was also pretty interesting to see the tree with has a gender! Remember to get the male tree as the female tree will stink in the fall!
ReplyDeleteI had always thought all plants had the sex organs of both genders, so that was intriguing to me to.
DeleteI liked the gardens too! The tour guide we had was kinda funny too. I liked the plant that made people's pupils bigger and the guy said it was almost like witchery.
