The National Botanical Garden of Cuba was founded in 1989 in the south part of Havana City with an extension of 600 hectares and which shows today around 4 thousand vegetable species. This Garden is part of the University of Havana, and its main goal is to promote the care of nature and the recognition of the vegetable world, especially, the autochthonous flora.
It has been organized in several restricted areas with certain characteristics: plains of Palm trees, pine forests, Eastern humid forests, wilderness, Mogote vegetation (mogote is a rock formation typical from Pinar del Rio), coastal scrublands; and a sample of the tropical flora from Asia, Africa, The Americas and The Antilles, Australia and Oceania, and other specialized collections (Palmetum, Archaic Forest, the Ekman Collection and the Collection of Economical Plants). Outside those areas, the visitor can enjoy a collection of ornamental aquatic and land plants, including a section dedicated to plants with trunks especially designed by nature to store water.
One of the main attractions of this institution is the Japanese Garden inaugurated in 1989, a work by the Japanese landscape architect Yoshikuni Araki. Located in the phytogeographical area of Southeastern Asia, this garden has an extension of 5 hectares. There, plants belonging to this Asian region are shown, along with others taken from others parts of the world to create the landscape environment "Kaiyu-Shiki-teien" (garden for walking) in which by means of the "mie-gakure" technique, the visitor can see the whole landscape from any point in the garden. It has a cascade, a small lake and a mirador.
The scientific collection of the Botanical Garden of Cuba is stored in greenhouses near the administrative buildings. If a visitor desires to go inside, he/she has to have a previous appointment with the specialists. This collection has specimens of the flora from Cuba and the rest of the world. It also has a herbarium (the second largest in the country) with more that 100 thousand specimens of the Cuban flora and a specialized library with around 4700 titles of books and 1084 titles of periodicals.
The tours around the Garden are always guided by a specialist, who will be able to provide the visitor with all the knowledge of the tropical flora. Being a specialized institution for over 30 years, the technical and professional staff have been in charge of improving the areas on display and plant species, as well as protecting the plants from damage that can be caused by hurricanes.
The collections of live plants being cultivated, especially the native and endangered ones, have a differentiated attention; attention that has increased due to the programs in charge of collecting genetic material in natural areas. The acquisition of seeds and sprouts from other intuitions, national and foreign, has made possible the increase of the collections ex situ. The Garden has also promoted the food culture and the ecologic food in Cuba by means of its gastronomic chain, especially the vegetarian restaurant El Bambu.
This introduction to Cuba's National Botanical Garden was written by a Cuba travel expert from Cuba For Less, a specialist in fully customizable Cuba vacation packages.
On Friday November 23, the Holiday Train Show opened at the NY Botanical Gardens, in Bronx NY. This is a spectacular event for adults and especially for children that draws visitors from all over the city as well as tourists. The NY Botanical Gardens is close to Harlem, and across the Whitestone Bridge from Queens, NY. It is in the Bronx, but serves the whole city and region. Show creator Paul Busse has put together a large and remarkable collection of miniature buildings and bridges made out of wood and plant materials, and also cinnamon sticks, to pine cones. Through the scenery there are rivers and even a waterfall. Through this huge panorama in the Enid Haupt Conservatory building, there run a series of model train lines. In addition, the huge and high space, actually a greenhouse, is filled with tropical plants such as palm trees.
Several different trains go through this make-believe New York area landscape, from late 1800s models to models of the latest Conrail trains. The first group of miniature buildings is surrounded by huge palm trees but not trains yet. There is the Statue of Liberty and the Ellis Island Immigration buildings, both on islands in a large pool of water. As you proceed into the exhibit hall with the model trains, the first landmark overhead is a replica of the George Washington Bridge, followed by the Brooklyn Bridge and other bridges further down, all of which have train tracks on them. In fact there are over 1,200 feet of train tracks with trains running on them throughout the hall.
Another impressive group of miniature buildings in the tour includes the Metropolitan Museum, the Guggenheim Museum and the main New York Public Library. Another landmark familiar to people in Bronx and upper Manhattan is the Highbridge water tower, situated over a 5 foot high waterfall. The hall is filled with adults and gaping children, with the scents of plants from evergreens and roses to royal palms. A group of miniatures in the back of the tour is the Central Park Group, which has Belvedere Castle, the Music Pavilion, the Angel of the Waters and the Dairy Building, and the Bethesda Fountain. And in the midst of all this, just to show you that the designers meant business, is a 5 foot-in-diameter replica of Yankee Stadium. All told, there are over 140 replicas of New York area landmarks, including the Empire State Building. Several of the replicas have been called "Magical Missing Mansions" in that they are replicas of famous historical mansions, including the William K. Vanderbilt house, which was once located on Fifth Avenue at 53rd Street in Manhattan.
An especially magical spot is the replica of the Rockefeller Center buildings, including an 18-inch high Christmas tree with lights. In fact there are many small lights throughout the exhibit. Seeing the show is great in the day time, but is said to be especially spectacular after dark, when the sun is down, after 4:15 pm. The 16th annual Holiday Train Show promises to be the most family-fun yet, and runs until Jan 13th.
