Preparing for the “Fascination of Plants Day”

it — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:11:59 +0000

The first international “Fascination of Plants Day” will be held on May 18th (*). In the hotel Tigaiga we are preparing for the occasion and today we planted a “Eugenia unifoliolate” tree and a “Trachycarpus fortunei” palm to increase the number of plant species in our gardens. 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)

The schooner Regina Maris visits the Tigaiga on their Atlantic voyage

Regina Maris left Amsterdam for 6 months sailing with SCHOOL AT SEA: an interesting journey via Canary Islands, Caribean, Panama, Cuba, Azores and back to Amsterdam.

“The present school system offers too few extracurricular activities. Students don’t, for instance, come into contact with nature” says Monique Touw, instigator of the School At Sea project. This is why today, the Dutch sailing ship’s crew members joined by thirty secondary school students and teachers enjoyed a tour around Tigaiga hotel subtropical gardens on their way to America!
