  About this garden

 The story
-----------

The advancements of AI and how it is being employed to benefit research connected to the natural world are explored in this pioneering design. Visitors can immerse themselves in a variety of plants commonly used in modern medicine, such as *Hypericum perforatum*, *Crataegus monogyna* and *Valeriana officinalis*. *Matricaria recutita* (German chamomile), known for reducing anxiety and improving sleep, is planted in abundance over a human figure constructed from chicken wire. Its yellow pistils catch the eye, surrounding old computer monitors that symbolise how technology can help determine whether unresearched plants may contain medicinal compounds.

Ultimately, the designers aim to show how AI may help bridge the gap between traditional plant knowledge and future pharmaceutical development, turning plants into valuable biochemical libraries.
