Wednesday, October 15, 10:00 – 11:30
Location: the Palestinian Museum
Language: Arabic

Our relationship with the land in Palestine is embodied in a living scene where the natural and cultural intertwine. The plants that grow here are not merely green elements but living memories and stories of roots stretching back thousands of years. The Palestinian landscape is the product of this interaction: the natural, with its rich plant diversity, and the cultural, derived from the plants of this environment and the traditions connected to them, whether native to the region or introduced over time through successive civilizations. This interplay is vividly reflected in the museum’s gardens, whose design weaves together themes expressing both the “cultural” and “natural” landscapes.

Join us for a winter-season tour where you will encounter aromatic and medicinal plants alongside legumes and field crops, surrounded by wild and fruit-bearing trees. The tour will be followed by a shared breakfast prepared from the bounty of the Palestinian Museum gardens.
