Synopsis: The best way to view the Garden and learn about the plants is by visiting in person and taking a tour. But none of the tours, not even the two-hour English tour, has the time to point out and explain more than a fraction of the history, organization, architecture, and functioning of the space. In this talk I will try to fill in some of that background so that when you do visit, you will, hopefully, have a more comprehensive understanding of what you are seeing.
