Botanic Garden of Brasília |
There are those who say that “Botanic Garden of Brasília” was created even before
the construction of the capital, for being primitive and, specially, for being a natural environment, which only years later was enclosed by
walls. This poetic vision exists to illustrate the way how the preserved area is treated up to nowadays and what is the importance that the local
flora has.
Founded in 1985, March, is considered the only botanical garden in the country with
cerrado (savanna) vegetation. Generally, the botanical gardens spread around Brazil follow the european model, where the function is purely
esthetic and for entertainment. While in other parks people finds an agglomerate of plants from several points of the world, in Brasília, what is
seen and preserved is the local woods.
