The Tropical Spice Garden was really interesting to visit. Among the many spices growing from all around the world there was also countless other plants with description cards telling us about them.
Along with the fascinating history found in the spice trade, the smells encountered on this walk were full and soothing. Different areas had totally different smells, but every part of large garden was incredibly fresh and clean to take in. I personally loved coming near the ginger!

Another note, can you believe that the Dutch, so protective of their monopoly in the spice trade, would punish a person with death for growing spices anywhere but their designated island! It's crazy to see these principles at work today - 'If you threaten our wealth, we will take you down'.
I'm convinced economics is the true battle for freedom from oppression in our time. .....The plants told me.......shhhhh.
