At Botania, we’re focusing on maintaining the love and care in our garden. Most of the improvements are done by our own team. We’re still learning every day at this inspirational place. We’re creating a space for everybody to enjoy; from artists who want to use our space for inspiration to other visitors who dive into our jungle.
