Water & Plants
Personal memory by Botanical Garden
1950 • San Miguel Allende, Mexico
“In the 17th century, before becoming a botanical garden, this place was a farm where they planted chickpeas at the shore of the damn. There was plenty of water in the northern reserve and where it flowed by there were potent plants like anise.”
