Flora of Turkey
Turkey has a rich and interesting flora with approximately 9000 vascular plant species (10,765 taxa) from 165 families.
3000 plant species approximately are endemic for Turkey (around 35%). It has a wide diversity of habitats and climatic conditions resulting from geological, topographical and continental characteristics of Anatolia as a meeting place of three phytogeographical regions including Euro-Siberian, Mediterranean, and Irano-Turanian.
*The time I visited this garden, July 2021, the garden was closed because of some constructional or administrative reason, but I was very lucky to find a researcher by coincidence who kindly accepted to guide me discovering the garden and the herbarium.

The secret of Kabab torsh!😉
در برخی از کشورها، هتل حشرات برای جذب حشرات در باغها و مزارع ساخته میشه، کشاورزان و باغداران برای جذب حشرات، چنین سازه هایی رو با استفاده از عناصر موجود و ترجیحا طبیعی، در باغها یا مزارع خودشون میسازند.
حشرات به گرده افشانی و افزایش محصول کمک میکنند، ضمن اینکه برخی از آفات رو میخورند، و خودشون هم مورد تغذیه پرندگان و موجودات دیگه قرار میگیرند و این چرخه ادامه دار خواهد بود. چنین ایده ای تا حدودی کمک به ساخت یک اکوسیستم طبیعی و حفظ بیودایورسیتی میکنه و باعث میشه تا محیطی نسبتا وحشی برای موجودات اون باغ یا مزرعه فراهم بشه.
