Botanical Gardens in Wroclaw

(Breslau) Poland. Photos taken whilst researching the health value of bacteriophages (phage) incidentally via a Winston Churchill Travelling Fellowship Award in the Science and Technology category. Note the bird box and flowering plant beneath it - a fuchsia 'Winston Churchill' variety. The statue at the centre of the gardens is of Linneaus. The modern artwork is called 'Angel'. It was amusing to find a small garden area (one of the photos) made from drainpipes and sewage pipes - an ideal source of phages for medicine and genes/genomes for industry and hence a great investment and research opportunity. In this garden, the pipes and tubes are full of flowers and vitality. http://www.wcmt.org.uk/public/reports/168_1.pdf There is more detail on Grace Filby's travel and research blog http://www.amazingphage.info .
