The Scent Tunnel boasts nearly 100 species of fragrant plants, ranging from regional favorites like the Edirne rose, honeysuckle, jasmine, and wisteria, to an exotic mix of annuals, perennials, trees, and shrubs.

3. Nature's Playground: The Children's Academy
The garden extends beyond its botanical richness, with the Children's Agriculture Academy drawing young visitors to explore their natural surroundings under the guidance of the local governor's office. During summer months, this vibrant, fragrant valley transforms into a living, breathing outdoor classroom.
4. Budding Opportunities: The Future of Local Agriculture
Beyond its botanical bonanza, the Scent Tunnel functions as a "living laboratory," allowing researchers to closely study how these medicinal and aromatic plants adapt to local conditions. Ultimately, the goal is to share these findings with farmers across the region, promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
