From the gardens of Athens to monastic herb gardens and 19th-century apothecary gardens, people have long cultivated plants to understand the world and to heal. The garden was also a meeting place where knowledge was shared.
LEO Pharma’s roots as a pharmacy go back to 1620. The new domicile takes the apothecary garden as its concept, linking plants, knowledge and health.
