    About this ebook

    Walk the paths that weave and turn under trees, through ferns, and over bridges. After emerging from the undergrowth, a fence blocks the way. Turn and go back, follow another path, and emerge, only to be blocked again by a fence. Unable to get out of the botanic gardens, we may end up stuck here forever to become the ghosts of the botanic gardens.
