Luise HesseThe third one of the illustrations I made for a nature trail on species protection. The nature trail leads through the community garden »Garten für Alle« and explains at individual stations how habitats for native plants, insects, and birds can be created using simple means, encouraging visitors to foster biodiversity in their own gardens as well.
This illustration belongs to the spice forest. Various trees and large shrubs grow here, parts of which can be used as spices – hence the name. The berries of the Szechuan pepper, for example, taste similar to pepper, while the bark of the eastern sweetshrub tastes like cinnamon. Unlike many spice plants, which only grow in tropical climates and whose production requires a lot of resources, these plants can also thrive here and replace tropical spices. The area is also intended to provide shade, serve as a place of rest for gardeners and visitors, aswell as offering food and habitat for various animals.
The illustration introduces the various trees and shrubs that grow in the spice forest and creates a vision of what the area could look like in a few years, once the plants have grown bigger.
The project was funded by the Saxony-Anhalt Ministry of Environment as part of the »NaturWasserMensch« funding programme.
