Location
Roseiral Gulbenkian GardenWild plants are those that occur naturally in each region where they evolved, forming the ecological foundation upon which all life depends – including that of animals and humans.
These plants play a vital role in the regeneration of natural life and the balance of ecological systems, both within cities and in agricultural ecosystems. They also hold considerable socioeconomic significance through their many applications – including the production of medicines, dyes and fibres – as well as for their nutritional value.
