Canary Garden: Central Campus

The Parks and Gardens Department of the University of La Laguna creates green spaces that are as natural as possible and with minimal human impact. This completes the natural life cycle within the space and gives maximum value to all elements, from the smallest and most invisible components of the soil to the largest and most visible, such as a large tree, ensuring that all elements are given equal importance.

In this case, the natural vegetation of the island of Tenerife has been used.

At the Canary Islands Vegetation Zones Interpretation Table, which explains the origin and formation of the Canary Islands, and specifically the process of colonization and evolution of plants in the Canary Islands, the six different types of vegetation zones existing in the archipelago have been described.

For hundreds of years, naturalists at one time and scientists of different specialties at another, have visited the Canary Islands, turning the islands into a natural laboratory.
