"Ireland - Aroma-Nature Learning Camp"

In Ireland, especially in Glengarriff, you could find Eliane Zimmermanns "Aroma Botanik in Glengarriff  2012".

It´s a sort of Aroma-Camp, to experience with all your senses, what the wonderful nature could bring us.

The landscape of southwest Ireland provides plants of the subtropical Area. A huge arboretum, with trees over 100 years old and many special things you could see there. It is an amazing journey.
