Summary
This project ensures a sustainable solar-power-irrigated Biodiversity & Well-being Garden at the National Museum is healthy, vibrant and resilient to local conditions. Montserrat Botanic Garden and Department of Environment experts will provide information on native and medicinal plants and suitable micro-habitats for insect pollinators. Local craftsmen will use local stone, iron, and mesh to create a resilient barrier protecting the Museum Garden’s perimeter from invasive species. Local specialists will install a solar-powered irrigation system to ensure resilience during challenging conditions.
