Tropical Gardenia

Tropical Gardenia 04/09/2004 04:12 PM

A visit to Gardenia Tropical Garden and back.

I happened to notice a brochure for the Gardenia Tropical Garden by accident and was curious about it since I hadn't ever seen or heard anything mentioning it before. The garden opened in April 2001 and is situated in Viikki next to the Viikki-Vanhankaupunki bay nature reserve.

The garden is small, as the map will show, but it has a lot of lovely specimens packed into it. As soon as you enter the house you know you are in the tropics with mist raining down from above. It's warm, moist and green which is a welcome change of scenery after a long grey winter. It's quiet except for the hiss of misting systems overhead. Just beyond the courtyard of potted mimosa trees, there's an even more humid enclosed section housing a koi pond, bananas, some exotic ferns, vanilla and other tropicals. They also host classes in gardening and other horticultural topics for hobbyists and children. It's a lovely little garden, but having worked in research at the Missouri Botanical Garden with the Climatron, it loses some of the grandeur. It's funny how the US makes everything so big, so large and so grand most of the time that it tends to spoil anything less elsewhere. The Climatron is a truly amazing building that I used to walk through fairly often at lunchtime. It always looked like a spaceship nestled in a grove of trees and, in winter, it would be glowing late into the night making it look even more out of this world. I'd guess that Gardenia has the same look to it in the depths of the November darkness.

World's last tropical rainforest

World's last tropical rainforest 02/10/2004 02:44 AM

The price of food and reasonable medical care have fallen so much that the world population swells to levels scarcely imaginable 200 years ago.  Whenever you get a bunch of people together in a tropical climate they inevitably seem to say to each other "Let's go out and cut down all of the trees in the jungle so that we can grow crops or graze cattle."

The last tropical rainforest left will very likely be the one right here in central Panama for it supplies one thing that is undeniably critical for the operation of the Canal:  rain.  The heart of the 80 km-long Canal is a big lake, 26 meters above sea level.  Every transit of a ship through the Canal requires that 52 million gallons of fresh water drain out of this lake into the Caribbean and Pacific.  The water is replenished from surrounding rainforest.  One thing that people in this part of the world have learned is that when you cut down all the trees it changes the local climate, generally cutting the amount of rain that falls.

Panama is one of the few places in the world where you don't need a hippie environmentalist to talk up the value of the rainforest.  Here everyone knows what the rainforest is worth... $600 million per year in tolls.
