A botanical garden isn’t just a garden filled with plants – it is a garden of ideas. Whether a developer, designer, innovator, or just plain interested, botanical gardens can offer secrets that are beyond their edible, aromatic, and medicinal properties. In this exploration of nature, TEALEAVES explores how botanical gardens and the “secrets” they house can inspire different innovators from tea blenders, designers, academics and more to build lasting impact on people, society and the environment. With this knowledge, it is our hope to generate awareness for and curb future decisions that may harmfully impact our planet and our well-being. It is our hope to inspire creativity and connections through the art of blending to create a positive impact in the world. Our unified goal is to share our mutual love for plants and botanicals by celebrating biomimicry and biophilia as a lens to attract newfound interest in the plants that we see every day or at botanical gardens.
