Scientific Director Dr. Ori Fragman-Sapir and Hub Coordinator and Director Lior Gottesman planted themselves with Eve for an in depth talk about a 30 acre bouquet in the middle of Jerusalem; the Botanical Gardens. Combining medicinal research and sustainable agriculture; environmental economics with educational programs where getting dirty is a requirement – all rooted in a Green lung in the heart of an uber urban environment- the Garden is an ecosystem of its own. They share their work and challenges in what is occasionally rocky terrain. There are various plans for growth to synthesize many diverse issues in order to promote a better space for all inhabitants in a very unique city.
As with anything to do with Jerusalem, there are global outgrowths and connections to nurture. Come visit soon.
