LL Yuyos Medicinal Garden | Villa Elisa

Jardín Medicinal LL Yuyos

The Medicinal Garden is a dedicated space where medicinal plants are cultivated within a rich and biodiverse environment. Here, the plants coexist naturally with insects, butterflies, birds, and other ecological agents that contribute to plant health and ecological balance. This space offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore the relationship between nature and well-being through a living collection of healing flora. The garden also serves as a center for education, research, and outreach, promoting the responsible use of medicinal plants. Preference is given to native species, though some were introduced by ancestors from distant lands, enriching the diversity of the collection. The site welcomes school groups, tourists, and visitors with a wide range of interests. Artisanal products such as dried herbs, mother tinctures, syrups, essential oils, and distillates are produced on-site and made available for purchase. Additionally, the interpretation center hosts a textile workshop featuring various techniques, including fiber spinning and natural dyeing using plants from the garden. This activity not only preserves traditional knowledge but also provides meaningful therapeutic experiences for participants.
