You step out of the car into a cooler hilltop air; tall palms and old figs lean over the path as if pointing the way. The Aburi Botanical Gardens opens like a living classroom—broad avenues of shade, labeled beds of tropical species, and intimate groves that hum with birdsong. Nearby, the Aburi Craft Village bustles with woodcarvers and textile stalls where the craft process continues in plain view.
