With the help of Daniel Beltrán, gardener of Club de Golf Alcanada, we are going to show you the diversity of plants that can be seen in the club.
For this first article we have chosen the laurel or “Laurus nobilis”, an aromatic evergreen tree or large shrub with green, glabrous (smooth and hairless) leaves, in the flowering plant family Lauraceae.
The laurel is native to the Mediterranean area, where it grows wild, and it has a multitude of medicinal and culinary properties.
These wonderful specimens preside over the way up to the restaurant, being a visual experience, and giving a touch of elegance and distinction to the staircase.
