Herb Ark Farm Botanical Garden Visit - Half Day Tour in Costa Rica

This privately owned property its an example of how the love for plants and conservation can grow from a simple hobby into a business that aims to preserve plant biodiversity. As a biologist myself, I've spent a long time studying the wonders of plant ecology, natural history and taxonomy. I still remember the good old times volunteering at the Herbarium or just casually collecting plant samples for my botany class here, in this very same place many moons ago. The shapes, sizes, colors and fragrances still catch my attention. Costa Rica is a rich and biodiverse country where ethnobotany (the science that studies plants and their cultural uses) becomes a very important topic. During our visit, we will have the chance to be immersed in a large variety of more than 1600 species of plants from all over the World that have being collected for the past thirty years. I will be more than happy to share this treasure with you as we stroll through the garden trails learning about plant biodiversity and their uses.
