Where does knowledge blossom, Ulrike Grube?

“Plants make up 82 percent of the Earth’s biomass. Their vital role in biological processes, and as a source of nutrition, is becoming all the clearer in the context of the global challenges we are facing. The Botanical Garden at the University of Graz is helping here in a number of ways. Scientific studies of its living collection are delivering new findings in the field of botanical research. Students here gain expert know-ledge – as an external place of learning, it enables them to explore these organisms with senses beyond sight alone, leading to greater awareness and under-standing of plants for us all. In this inspiring oasis, a place that people also come to for a sense of peace and relaxation, knowledge blossoms – right in the heart of the city!”
