spice gardens
Fragrant herb plots
Spice gardens are cultivated areas where aromatic plants are grown for their flavorful seeds, bark, roots, or leaves—pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and the like.
The term evokes tropical regions historically central to the spice trade: touring the spice gardens of Kerala, Zanzibar's famous spice gardens.
Some are working farms; others serve as tourist attractions showcasing how familiar seasonings grow.
