Horti Negombii

Negombo is a microcosm, yes, an artificial ecosystem, but still an ecosystem, that leaves to nature the task of adapting, selecting and self-regulating, evolving over time; it is research in which man meets nature and explores its infinite possibilities and wonders. For enthusiasts and scholars we list the most important species present in the Negombo scrub.
