EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of the Basin Farquhar in the Pamplemousses Botanical Garden, Mauritius, circa 1905. Established in 1770, the Pamplemousses Botanical Garden, now known as Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden, holds the distinction of being the oldest botanical garden in the Southern Hemisphere. The garden, nestled amidst lush greenery and exotic flora, is a testament to the rich natural heritage of Mauritius, an island nation located in the Indian Ocean. The Basin Farquhar, named in honor of the first British Governor, Robert Farquhar, is a striking feature of this historic garden. Farquhar played a pivotal role in fostering an amicable relationship between the French former colonists and troops and the British officials, bringing about an 'entente cordiale' that allowed for peaceful coexistence on the island. The Basin Farquhar, with its crystal-clear waters and tranquil ambiance, is a popular attraction for visitors. The soothing sound of water cascading from the surrounding waterfalls adds to the serene atmosphere, creating a sense of calm and relaxation. The garden's diverse collection of plants, including the iconic Victoria Amazonica water lily, thrive in the tropical climate, making it a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts. This photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the colonial past of Mauritius and the beauty of its natural wonders. The image, with its vibrant colors and intriguing history, is a testament to the enduring allure of this enchanting island nation.
