Las Tunas.- The collections will serve, if necessary, to make restitutions to natural ecosystems, mainly in the case of taxon, which belong to 56 genera of 33 different families, a favorable guarantee for the protection of flora.
Waldo Bonet Mayedo, expert of the institution, explained that the Garden is located in the area of urban parks in the city of Las Tunas. It has promoted, since its emergence in 1986, scientifically organized collections of plants that serve as the basis for education, environmental education and recreation.
Those who enter to the 49 cultivated hectares enjoy native, exotic species, or those that are representative of important geographical regions of the world, as well as a repertoire of endemic and threatened varieties of the locality.
Bonet Mayedo added that among its attractions, the development of cacti and succulents plants stands out with about 209 species, the forest and scrubs of Cuban plants with 195 and a considerable number of ornamental plants, with flowers and for indoor locations, work that does not finish thanks to the 50 workers.
Currently, the group is working on the increase in heritage with the introduction of novelties, both in live and herbal collections. The latter already total more than eight thousand and are mostly representative of the vegetation in the eastern region of the country.
Eliminating the five hectares of marabou that still exist there constitutes one of the projections of gardeners, plantation workers and specialists, to which is added the effort to turn the entity into a relevant place of sociocultural development.
With this objective, El Bosque Martiano plays an important role, a space that reproduces not only the flora mentioned by José Martí in his diary, but the different plant formations that represent the landscapes during his journey, from the landing at Playita de Cajobabo until his death in Boca de Dos Ríos.
More than a forest, it is a kind of park with a route through areas of heterogeneous landscapes (beach, coastal mangrove, dry and wet forest, savanna, pine forest) with a square in the center of the area.
In addition, El Bosque Cucalambeano makes you fall in love with the presence of the plants that Juan Cristóbal Nápoles, the most prominent nineteenth-century bucolic poet in Cuba, recounted in his works, many of them written for his beloved Rufina from El Cornito, the farm where he lived and which is located near the Garden.
A sample of the most representative of the flora of each continent, an ecological classroom and the cultivation of medicinal plants as a contribution to the Program of Natural and Traditional Medicine, accomplish the benefits of this center of learning, recreation and support for the natural registration of the Province.
The Garden expands its benefits as a location for the celebration of weddings, 15 birthdays, and meetings of families, youth groups and senior citizens.
The Cuban flora exhibits around 7,500 species, a figure that places the Greater Antilles as the richest island territory in this regard worldwide, an incentive to promote the care and conservation of our biodiversity.
