A Healing Garden

This year’s fall show draws inspiration from the Padua Botanical Garden in Italy. The University of Padua founded the garden in 1545, making it the oldest botanical garden in the world. It was established primarily to study medicinal plants, which were essential to medical treatments of the time.

Here, you will learn about the garden's history, its role in modern medicine, and the fundamental importance of plants to human well-being and society. The showroom also features a gallery of reflections from community members on the significance of parks, botanical gardens, and other green spaces.

The design incorporates elements of classic Italian gardens, such as formal plantings of evergreens, symmetrical beds, water fountains, and a medicinal plant garden reminiscent of the ones at the Orto Botanico di Padova. Just like a student at Padua University, you'll be provided with maps of the medicinal garden bed and a key. How many plants can you identify?
