The Royal Botanical Gardens of Pamplemousses, called one of the top 5 botanical gardens in the world, were renamed Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Gardens in 1988 in honour of the late Prime Minister of Mauritius.
The garden's origins go back to 1735, when Labourdonnais bought a house in the grounds which he called Mon Plaisir. Now the gardens cover some 60 acres of land, and the plants in the garden include some 80 different species of palms.

The theatres patient reception at Harefield is where patients wait just before they go in for surgery, so it is important that the environment is calming and peaceful to help reduce any anxiety.
“Botanical Mandala” was commissioned by rb&hArts (Royal Brompton and Harefield Arts) on behalf of the Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust. The installation was designed to help patients to relax before operations and achieve a meditative state of mind.
The final artwork consists of a kaleidoscopic projection of medicinal plants slowly ‘spreading’ across the wall, accompanied by the sound of birdsong.
“Botanical Mandala” received really positive feedback both from the patients and the medical staff.
Nick Hunt, site director at Harefield, commented: “This beautiful display is a perfect example of responding to the needs of patients in a creative way.”

Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of Singapore and a keen naturalist, set up the first Botanic Garden on Government Hill at Fort Canning in 1822 mainly to introduce into cultivation economic crops such as nutmeg, clove and cocoa. This Garden was closed in 1829.
The Gardens at its present site was founded in 1859 by an Agri-Horticultural Society, and was later handed over to the government for maintenance. From an ornamental garden with roads, terraces, a bandstand and even a small zoo, it has come a long way in evolving into a leading equatorial botanic garden of 63 hectares.
