Description
The aim of the 1000m2 TCM Medicinal Plants Learning & Research Garden is to present more than 120 TCM Medicinal Plants in a modern and effective way. Through innovative experience concepts, classical teaching and learning methods are expanded and learning success is made more effective and sustainable. The garden serves as a learning place for TCM Phytotherapy trainees to learn more about the knowledge of species, their ingredients and their use. In addition, the attractive design of the TCM Medicinal Plant Garden invites the public to discover these new and unknown medicinal plants.
