2. They are educational. You learn something even if you just take a walk.

3. They are great for city-kids to learn the beauty of nature. Kids love colourful things. A visit in a botanic garden gives them the opportunity to run around and explore. Many gardes offer exploring guides just for kids.
5. They preserve plants that would otherwise be extinct. Most bigger gardes have research facilities and seed-banks where they freeze seeds of endangered species.
4. It’s a nice and calm place to think. If you need time on your own, the botanic gardens are always quiet and calm, and you can enjoy the silence while looking at beautiful flowers.
What I want to say is: go to your local botanic garden, enjoy the scenery. If you are a poet or writer use it as inspiration. Protect them, they are an island of serenity inside the chaotic hearts of large cities.
6. They provide a small living space for animals within a big city.
