Enjoyed a beautiful walking tour with the young researchers of the @wiko-greifswald.bsky.social around the Loki-Schmidt Botanical Garden of the @uni-hamburg.de on Monday☀️🪲

A great place to experience a vast variety of plants and to learn more about conservation, human land use, and sustainability🌵

I’m starting this BlueSky account with a beautiful picture I took at the Annual Meeting of the German Ethological Society Meeting in Tutzing!☀️🕷️ Lake Starnberg and the breathtaking scenery of the Alps in the background - needless to say where we spent our coffee breaks!⛰️
