Name Origin:

Botaniscape: From the Latin, “botanica,” meaning botany or plant life, and “scape,” meaning a view or picture of a scene. From our perspective, the view is magnificent, as Nature intended, particularly when shared in heartfelt community!

“Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.”―John Muir
