This action was sponsored by Mrs. Sander, regular customers of the hotel since 1985.

(*) The  ”Fascination of Plants Day” is launched under the umbrella of the European Plant Science Organisation (EPSO). The goal of this activity is to get as many people as possible around the world fascinated by plants and enthused about the importance of plant science (www.plantday12.eu)

Mr. Dixon invited our visitors to see his impressive botanical film, with  clear close-up shots of blooming flowers rich in colour and detail, taken at a number of locations including Tenerife.

He gave a wonderful photographic lecture of plant & flower photography which we greatly enjoyed.

Muchas gracias!
