The book | When Daphne’s family and twin brothers move to an old mansion, they discover a garden, full of tall plants and colorful wild flowers. In the children’s eyes, however, it is not a garden but a “jungle” waiting to be explored. Soon, the three explorers discover an underground path that leads them to a great adventure. Accompanied by a spring fairy, they step into the realm of nature with one goal: to invite all the creatures of the earth to a feast of senses and a celebration of the rebirth of life itself.

The Garden of Asclepius by Eleni Tsaldiri is a garden of knowledge and enrichment, of mental upliftment and emotional closeness to nature, of rearranging our time and priorities, of developing a new relationship with the nature around them, for the children.
