EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1905, transports us back in time to the enchanting Sagotrees Avenue in the Pamplemousses Botanical Garden, Mauritius. Established in 1770, this botanical garden is the oldest in the Southern Hemisphere and a living testament to the rich natural history of this Indian Ocean island. The photograph showcases the majestic Sagotrees (Casuarina equisetifolia) lining the avenue, their slender trunks adorned with distinctive spiky bark. These trees, native to Australia, were introduced to Mauritius in the late 1800s and have since become a defining feature of the island's landscape. The lush greenery of the garden surrounds the trees, with various exotic species creating a vibrant tapestry of colors and textures. The serene atmosphere is further enhanced by the tranquil pond, home to various water birds, adding to the idyllic setting. The Pamplemousses Botanical Garden, now known as Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden in honor of Mauritius' first Prime Minister, has been a source of inspiration and education for generations. Its rich biodiversity and historical significance make it a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the timeless allure of Mauritius and its commitment to preserving its natural heritage for future generations to enjoy.
