This is not really a
botanical garden, but I do find it interesting.
I had not thought at it as such, but it turned out to be an almost
pilgrims experience, to walk through it. I've seen the places where
Jesus and Buddha is said to have been borne, but this one really touched
me: The birthplace of evolution! Down house is where Charles Darwin
lived all his adult life, and where he wrote On the Origin of the
Species. I visited in 2016.

wrote all his books
