Botany

 Overview

Description

The Great Botanical Garden is located just 800 feet from the steps of the Capitol in Washington, United States. With a lot of love and effort, creeper2357 also built the triangular Bartholdi Park, which is across the street and is under the supervision of the USBG (United States Botanic Garden). The buildings, paths, trees and even plants you see are all as accurate as they could be in Minecraft. The USBG is organized and managed as a museum and is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM).

The garden also offers various activities online which you can find here:

Since this world is quite extensive, we created a world map that shall help you to locate places or yourself and get some orientation.

Description

Halfway between Boragi and Colchica lies Rosa, a city that combines the advantages of three biomes; Desert, plains and jungle. You can smell the city from afar. Perfumes and dyes are diligently produced here. But also a large selection of teas are a specialty of this place. You can find them in the city's elegant teahouses.

The most famous Rosaner is probably David Austin, but you will rarely find him in his house. Mostly he works on a new rose cultivation in the nearby rose museum.

Boraku is one of the oldest cities in the world and was once extremely famous. Now it's a downright ghost town and only ruins are left of it. The once fertile land around them has now been completely devastated.

Description

Located in the middle of the desert, Boragi is best reached from Astera or Rosa. It is a little way away, but doable.

The city is chronically overpopulated and constantly under construction.

It is not easy to live in Boragi. All important goods are hard to come by. There is a nearby town just a few minutes walk, Boraku. The best way to get there is to follow the strange desert trees. Going there is a dangerous undertaking, however, as it is a ghost town full of zombie villagers.

Nevertheless, there are also beautiful moments in Boragi. The residents are great musicians and even make music with plants. The nicest thing about Boragi is actually the beach promenade, where there is regular partying and music in the evenings.

Description

Ranuncul is a neighboring village of Boragi and Boraku. Close to the desert and directly on the river, which is part of an extensive lake landscape, it is nestled in the middle of rolling hills.

The Ranunculians understand a great deal about the poisons of the plant family Ranunculaceae, which they do not use medicinally or for warfare, but need them in particular for the production of pigments, especially for painting.

If you pass here you have to go to the nearby wood, it is full of magic.

Description

Fabavut is a settlement in the middle of the snowy tundra. The village is relatively easy to reach from Fabavut by boat. Just be careful not to run into an octopus in the cold sea. Many ships have sunk in the icy depths.

It is noticeable right at the beginning that it has different architectural styles. On the one hand there are the typical Nordic houses and on the other hand there are snow and ice igloos.

In addition, the village has three large communal houses, and not just one, as usual.

The settlers have very special skills. You can regenerate dead and salty soil with the help of the Fabaceae family of plants. You are also particularly committed to combating climate change.

What seems like an icy desert to you is actually a rich land that is rich enough for entire settlements to live on.

Description

Rubia is in the heart of a dense jungle. The best way to get there is via Brassica or the jungle town of Amaryl.

The Rubians are probably the most advanced civilization in the world. You can create all kinds of magic out of plants and see into the future for yourself. They are also the ones who put up the TARDIS houses everywhere. Did you know that the TARDIS timing mechanism is based on flowers? They are also great builders. They live high in the tops of the trees. Safe from wild animals and other dangers, you have a great overview there.

They are probably descended from the Korowai people, but no one knows exactly. What is certain is that the tree houses are not only extremely practical, but also very beautiful and pleasant to live in.

What they have in common with the Korowai is their preference for pork. Good to know if you want to befriend them.

Yes, this is actually the Earth, but more than a century has passed and the Earth now looks different. The water is distributed everywhere and there are few icy landscapes. There are large desert areas and the cities have become smaller.

But the most important thing is how people live. They had to reorganize shortly after the great catastrophe, were suddenly fewer, and allied themselves with the plant kingdom. Plants have a lot to say in this world, but you'll soon find out for yourself.

Many parts of this world are still completely unexplored. Do you help to explore the different places?
