In Sammilan Shetty Butterfly Park, Mr. Sammilan taught us which type of plant attracts and can
\nhost different types of butterflies, how we can protect butterflies and how to create a positive
\nenvironment for them. We witnessed many butterflies and we managed to take photos to many of
\nthem.<\/p>\n
\n
In Soans farm Dr. L.C. Soans explained how this farm became the place it is nowadays and the
\ncrops they grow there, he explained about their pineapple cultivation and the products they get out
\nof it and we had a very nice talk about sustainable agriculture and the problems farmers are facing
\nthese days. We also had a walk to study how the land is distributed for different cultivations.
\nIn Alva’s Ayurveda Medical Pharmacy we were explained the process that herbs and plants have to
\ngo through to become ayurvedic medicines while we had a tour all over the place. We also visited
\nShobhavana Garden from where we got ideas of plants which we can grow in our training centre.
\nIn the nursery we purchased the plants we did not manage to get from the places we had visited
\nbefore, not only flower plants but also medicinal ones.<\/p>\n
\nMarta, SAP-K intern: \u201cthis exposure visits have provided me with lots of ideas to implement in the
\ntraining centre. I would never have the chance to visit places like these in my country. The butterfly
\npark was gorgeous, the discussion with Dr. L.C. Soan was really supportive as we, as farmers, are
\nfacing the same challenges and the visit to Alva’s Ayurveda Pharmacy and Shobavana Garden was
\nreally interesting\u201d<\/p>\n
\nJan, SAP-K volunteer: \u201cI was very happy to have the experience to see such a beautiful butterfly
\ngarden and I learned a lot about butterflies and the plants they like. The owner of Soans farm
\ntaught us a lot about fruit-plantation and we bought many plants. Furthermore we got the best
\npineapple juice I have ever drank. When we arrived in the Alva’s Factory on one hand I was very
\ntired and didn’t feel comfortable on the other hand they expanded my horizon. I enjoyed the trip.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
