## About this plan

A different kind of plan waits for you in Bogotá at the Huerta del Alebrije, part of the Biblioteca Pública Manuel Zapata Olivella, Tintal branch. The Living Herbarium is a space to look closely at the plants that grow there, learn to identify them, and understand why they matter to the local area.

The program runs over two sessions. In each one, you walk through the garden, observe leaves, flowers, and stems, and talk with other participants about the knowledge behind these species. Together, you build a community herbarium that records memories and ways of caring for nearby life.

If you like environmental activities, group projects, and outdoor time in the city, this is a solid chance to connect with nature right in southern Bogotá.

- Free workshop in the Tintal garden
- Two sessions for identifying local plants
- Group build of a community herbarium
- Shared local knowledge and memories

## Who it's for

Great for families, plant fans, residents of Kennedy, and anyone interested in urban ecology, local environmental history, and community work in Bogotá.
