Arboretum: The Ecoversities of Philippine Native Trees and Vegetables is a project that addresses the alarming loss of indigenous trees and vegetables in the country and collective memory. ‘The need to change the current state of education where school textbooks fail to document and mention native trees and vegetables cannot be overstated. The Arboretum and Nursery project aims to reintroduce these trees through outdoor experiential pedagogy, providing students with handson learning opportunities and promoting the value of preserving and protecting our natural heritage.’ – Teza Ramos, Arboretum, Philippines
