The Manni-Elleren Garden of Utilitarian Plants
This garden features plants used for medicine and industry, alongside the original wild relatives of the crops we eat today.
Humanity relies on plants for far more than just food. The Manni-Elleren Garden of Utilitarian Plants – named in honor of Esther Manni-Elleren – showcases a diverse array of species from around the world, primarily from tropical regions, that serve a multitude of human needs.
The collection features edible and medicinal plants alongside those used for crafting tools, producing natural toxins, and other specialized applications. Additionally, the garden highlights "crop wild relatives": the original wild ancestors from which modern agricultural crops were developed.
