Jardín Botánico de Bogotá José Celestino Mutis

This guide to the José Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden in Bogotá follows its founding in 1955 by Jesuit priest Enrique Pérez Arbeláez, who set out to train the city's gardeners rather than build a park. It traces the work of Francisco Sánchez Hurtado, who turned the founder's drawings into the garden's paramo terraces, and the veteran staff still passing horticultural knowledge down the row. Listen for how that habit of teaching by doing shows up in the beds around you.
