MATI NGO wants to build several gardens for medicinal plants (trees, herbs, shrubs) (“apothecary gardens”):
. a small model garden on its own soil (MATI) in the village of Huzurikanda
. 5 to 6 gardens in five surrounding communities by the farmers' cooperative. The medicinal plants are collected from various places in Bangladesh.
Of the 55 medicinal plants in Bangladesh, around 30 are selected and planted.
These native medicinal plants are used in traditional naturopathic medicine and homeopathy in Bangladesh.
The care of the gardens and preparation of the plants is carried out by members of the farming cooperative in collaboration with the MATI Medical Center/pharmacist (quality assurance). Sales take place via the pharmacy operated by the co-op.
