The ethnobotanical garden is one of the most extensive and complete
collections of Cactaceae and Agaves from the State of Oaxaca.Some of its objectives are to create a
collection of live plants,
representatives of the rich Oaxacan biodiversity, duly identified and
documented, offering the visitor an educational space, aesthetics
appreciation and relaxation. In order to demonstrate the relationship
between the
vegetation and the traditions of Oaxaca, the garden only brings together
plants that are relevant to the region’s culture. The plants are not
only used for food, medicine, perfume, and fibers, but also as a source
of aesthetic inspiration and intellectual stimulation for the people.
