Rainwater
The Philippines receives abundant rainfall, yet many areas face water scarcity during the dry season. At BOTANICA Escario, we’ve designed our garden to capture, store, and efficiently use every drop of rain that falls on our property. This system reduces our dependence on community water, prevents soil erosion, and provides our plants with chemical-free water.
